SANTA FE, N.M. The Santa Fe County district attorney said on Tuesday that she was not ruling out criminal charges in last weeks fatal shooting on a film set. The actor Alec Baldwin was rehearsing with a gun that he had been told did not contain live ammunition when it went off, killing the films cinematographer and wounding its director.
We havent ruled out anything, the district attorney, Mary Carmack-Altwies, said in a telephone interview. Everything at this point, including criminal charges, is on the table.
Ms. Carmack-Altwies said that the investigation was focusing on ballistics in an effort to determine what kind of round was in the gun that killed Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer and who had placed the ammunition in the gun.
There were an enormous amount of bullets on this set, and we need to find out what kinds they were, Ms. Carmack-Altwies said. Detectives said that they recovered three revolvers, spent casings and ammunition in boxes, loose and in a fanny pack while executing a search warrant on the set, according to an inventory of the items released on Monday. The inventory did not specify what kind of ammunition was found on the set.
