Law Enforcement officials reportedly recovered hundreds of items of evidence following the fatal shooting on a movie set involving actor Alec Baldwin.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza held a news conference Wednesday to provide more information on the investigation into the incident.
Mendoza explained officials identified two other individuals “that handled and/or inspected the loaded firearm prior to Baldwin firing the weapon.”
The two individuals, armorer Hannah Reed-Gutierrez and assistant director Dave Halls, “have been cooperative in the investigation,” according to Mendoza.
He continued, “Through the execution of search warrants, we have collected about 600 items of evidence. These include but are not limited to three firearms, approximately 500 rounds of ammunition and several pieces of clothing and accessories.”
Mendoza reported officials have also recovered what they believe to be possible additional live rounds from the set. The Santa Fe county sheriff said it is “too early, right now in the investigation, to comment on charges at this point.”
He added, “If the sheriff’s office determines, during our investigation, a crime has occurred and probable cause exists, an arrest or arrests will be made and charges will be filed.”
