The actor Alec Baldwin would have fired a Colt .45 caliber pistol loaded with a real lead bullet on the set in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died and the director was injured. This has been indicated by the authorities this Wednesday, during a press conference held six days after the event.
For now no charges have been filed, but the prosecution does not rule out filing them against none of those involved, as indicated by the district attorney, Mary Carmack-Altwies, who has pointed out that the investigations have not yet concluded.
As for the weapon, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza has indicated that it is in the possession of authorities. According to Mendoza, what are thought to be more real bullets were found on set, which will be tested by ballistics experts.
The gun in question, he has detailed, is a Long Colt revolver and the bullet he fired is believed to be real. “It was fired from the gun and caused injuries. That leads us to think it is a real bullet,” said the sheriff, who noted that Baldwin is cooperating with the investigation.
