Following a fatal shooting on the set of Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin new film on Thursday, a search warrant has been issued by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.
According to KOAT Baldwin was handed one of three prop guns by assistant director David Halls that were set up in a cart by an armourer.
Halls handed the gun to Baldwin and yelled “cold gun,” meaning the gun did not have live rounds, the affidavit states. The gun fired by Baldwin hit Hutchins in the chest and wounded Souza, who was behind her while rehearsing a scene, in the shoulder. She was pronounced dead at a hospital after being transported by helicopter.
The investigator says in the affidavit that the assistant director did not know the gun had live rounds when he handed the gun to Baldwin.
The affidavit asked to seize all firearms and ammunition, cameras and computer equipment and the clothes worn by the actors at the time of the shooting.
Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Juan Rios told CNN earlier Friday that the search warrant request was granted.
