More Revelations From the Rust Tragedy
|
Authorities are still investigating how a live bullet made its way to the set of the Western Rust and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins—but it turns out that wasn’t even the only bullet on set that day. In a new, 551-page report from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, investigators reveal that they found five additional live bullets on the Rust set, including some worn by actors as part of their costumes.
VF’s Anthony Breznican breaks down the new report, which also includes details about investigators’ efforts to gain access to Alec Baldwin’s phone records and the continued efforts to determine how real bullets got mixed in with the fake ones used for filming. The report is now in the hands of Santa Fe district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, whose office will determine whether criminal charges are warranted. Baldwin, who fired the gun that killed Hutchins and was also a producer on the film, has already reached a settlement with Hutchins’s family, who filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
