The aide who handed the gun to Alec Baldwin says he didn't check it

• Cinema The prosecutor does not rule out filing charges against Alec Baldwin, who according to the sheriff fired a real bullet

• Dave Halls The assistant who handed the gun to Alec Baldwin had already been fired from a production for another gun incident

Dave Halls,

the assistant director who handed

the gun with which he accidentally killed

last Thursday

acknowledged that he did not check the gun before rehearsing the scene because he was convinced it contained fake bullets.

The assistant's statement, published this Wednesday by the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office (New Mexico, USA), would coincide with the hypothesis formulated by investigators after they confiscated some 500 rounds of ammunition in the shooting area, between who believe that there were

Unlike blank cartridges, which recreate a weapon explosion, dummy

and are only used when the script requires a projectile to appear on screen.

The scene Baldwin rehearsed was

the pistol at the camera.

For her part,

the production gunsmith, told the authorities that that same day she had made sure that the weapon contained dummy bullets and indicated that she was not aware that there was live ammunition in the recording studio.

However, his version contradicts what was recently expressed by the Sheriff of Santa Fe,

in a press conference, since among the objects confiscated by his team

that he described as a mixture of "blank cartridges , fake bullets "and what you suspect might be" real bullets. "

At this stage of the investigation, the Santa Fe authorities do not dare to draw conclusions and consider all possible scenarios, including the imputation of some of those involved in the filming of Western

.

Faced with questions from the press about the possible legal responsibility of Baldwin, who in addition to being the protagonist of the film is one of the producers, the sheriff stressed that

The only confirmation so far is that the pistol that Baldwin fired was

that was stored alongside two other weapons, one modified so that it could not fire live ammunition and the other made of plastic.

As the official investigations progress, other details have become known, such as that the assistant who handed the gun to Baldwin was fired from another shoot in 2019 for a similar incident although, fortunately, he did not injure anyone.

The statements of team members who worked in the production portray

in which protests were piling up and for which half a dozen employees resigned on the same day of the tragic accident.
