Loose and Boxed Ammunition Found at Scene of Alec Baldwin Shooting
The New York Times
Court papers did not specify what kind of ammunition detectives recovered from a movie set where the actor had fatally shot a cinematographer with a gun he was told did not contain live rounds.
Detectives found three revolvers, spent casings and ammunition — in boxes, loose and in a fanny pack — when they searched the New Mexico film set where the actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer last week with a gun he had been told did not contain any live rounds, according to an inventory of the items seized that was released on Monday.
The new details emerged four days after Mr. Baldwin shot the cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, while rehearsing a scene in which he draws a revolver from his holster and points it at the camera, according to an affidavit used to obtain a warrant to search the set. The inventory did not specify what kind of ammunition was seized, and whether it included regular bullets, blank cartridges or dummies.
Taken together, the inventory of guns, ammunitions and blood from the scene where the movie “Rust” was being filmed, which was filed in Santa Fe County Magistrate Court, did not answer the central question of how Ms. Hutchins was killed with a gun that was not supposed to contain live ammunition.
