Sheriff: ‘Some complacency’ with guns on movie set

SANTA FE, N.M. — Investigators said Wednesday that there was “some complacency” in how weapons were handled on the movie set where Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed a cinematographer, but it’s too soon to determine whether charges will be filed.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza noted that 500 rounds of ammunition — a mix of blanks, dummy rounds and live rounds — were found while searching the set of “Rust.”

Authorities also confirmed there was no footage of the shooting.

Investigators believe Baldwin’s gun fired a single live round that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.

District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said investigators cannot say yet whether it was negligence or by whom.
