Recycled live ammo may have been on ‘Rust’ movie set amid fatal shooting: documents
Global News
The court documents include a search warrant for a local ammunition supplier who told police he suspected that the live bullets may have been "reloaded ammunition."
Authorities investigating the fatal shooting on the “Rust” movie last month are investigating whether recycled live ammunition may have made its way into a stash of dummy bullets on the set in New Mexico, according to court documents released on Tuesday.
The documents include a search warrant for the premises of a local supplier of ammunition and movie props.
The supplier told police he suspected that the live bullets found on the set may have been “reloaded ammunition” that he got previously from a friend. Reloaded ammunition is made up of recycled components, including bullets.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded when a gun that actor Alec Baldwin had been told was safe fired off a live bullet during a rehearsal on Oct. 21.
The key question remains how a live bullet, rather than a blank, ended up in the gun. Other live rounds were also found on the set, investigators have said.
No criminal charges have been filed.
The newly released documents said Santa Fe sheriff’s deputies had spoken with Seth Kenny, who supplied some of the ammunition for “Rust,” and who “advised he may know where the live rounds came from.”
“Seth described how a couple years back, he received ‘reloaded ammunition’ from a friend,” the document said.
