and where was that gun before it was handed to alec baldwin? >> you know, they are out in the desert and i mean is it possible -- i guess it is -- that some people -- listen, i don't want to speculate or go too far afield here but people were using it as target practice? or using it to -- as, you know, live rounds to shoot target practice and maybe forgot something in there? i don't know. >> i mean, obviously, someone put a live round in there for whatever reason. i don't know like you said. target practice. did they go hunting? were they, i know, rehearsing? why they'd be rehearsing with live ammunition, i don't know. but obviously, someone -- you know, a human being put live ammunition in a gun that should not have had live ammunition. and then, they told the actor, alec baldwin, it's safe. it's cold. you're okay shooting this prop gun. >> the los angeles times and other media reports that -- that crew members -- that they quit production due to conditions and safety concerns, including gun safety protocols and listen, everything is being inv

alec baldwin taken after the incident. he appears obviously, he is distraught. who wouldn't be. tell us more about what you're hearing from alec. >> what we're hearing from him are his tweets that said he's in touch with her family, that he -- there are no words to describe how he's feeling and let's be honest. like you said before, people are politicizing this. there is no politics in this. this is hollywood movie making. it was make believe. it was pretend that went really bad. i can't imagine what is going through his mind. i know that people on the set are in shock. the guilds are bringing in people to talk to the people onset who witnessed this. all they were going to was to witness a rehearsal and see them block shots and they witnessed the most unthinkable tragedy. >> halyna hutchins, her agency said she's a ray of light. she has a husband and son. >> what is wonderful, this was a second career for her. she started off as an investigative journalist from the ukraine. graduate of afi. we just reported that afi set up

because if alec baldwin _ against. because if alec baldwin was _ against. because if alec baldwin was handed - against. because if alecj baldwin was handed the against. because if alec - baldwin was handed the firearm believing it to be incapable of firing any live rounds, it almost seems that the intent isn't there to have caused harm? i isn't there to have caused harm? ., , ., ., �* harm? i agree with you, i don't think alec— harm? i agree with you, i don't think alec baldwin _ harm? i agree with you, i don't think alec baldwin will - harm? i agree with you, i don't think alec baldwin will have - think alec baldwin will have charges brought against him in his capacity as the shooter. i think there are no facts that suggest he had any intent to kill the cinematographer or that he thought the gun was loaded in any way. what could however happen, which may implicate alec baldwin, is it be shown there was so much safety protocol being breached and the scene of the set throughout the production, not just on the day of the incident. that it rises to a level

recovered from alec baldwin? >> as of right now, there were three firearms that are located on the set within close proximity to the incident. we're still going to determine -- we'll send the firearm that was fired by mr. baldwin to the crime lab and do a functionality test. obviously it did fire a live round. the other weapon is a single action .45 revolver. that up with looks like there is some modification to the cylinder. it may not be functioning but that will be determined by the crime lab. the other firearm is a plastic, n non-functioning revolver. >> can you talk about tensions on the set? obviously there were people who were around the accident, members who may have been drinking the night before. can you talk about that and was there tension around that? >> i won't talk about specifics, but we are aware of today rumors or those statements that have been made, and we're going to do the best to track those down. >> you're obviously responsible, sheriff -- sheriff!

alec baldwin is also a producer, not the only producer on the show. what liability could he be looking at if any here? >> yeah, don, my view right now is alec baldwin in his capacity as an actor does not have any liability. i think the standard norm we've heard from various experts is if you're an actor and handed a gun and told cold gun, you're entitled to bank on that. as a producer, what role did he do? not all producers are created eq equal. if he was directly involved in the hiring of people that may have had red flags and management of that site, he could have liability. it's more likely going to be civil liability for someone in that position but very serious issues here. >> prosecutors and police have already gotten a search warrant executed by the sheriff. does that tell you anything or is that just standard operating procedure, pro forma? >> that does tell me something. to get a search warrant you can't get that on a whim. you have to as a prosecutor and police officer write out probable cause. you have to write an affidavit and bring it to

it's about the deadly movie set shooting involving alec baldwin. the district attorney makes it clear now that criminal charges are on the table amid claims of negligence, unprofessionalism and stunning new information about the gun and the crew. let's watch. >> good morning, everybody. welcome to the santa fe county sheriff's office. first and foremost, i'd like to offer condolences to the hutchins family, a speedy recovery to mr. souza and the concern of the safety of men and women in the field industry. at october 21, 2:48 p.m., we were dispatched to the ranch after a 911 call advising two people were shot on the movie set. it was later determined that halyna hutchins, the director and joel souza, the director had been shot while rehearsing a scene on the movie "rust." it was determined that actor producer alec baldwin was the person that fired the weapon. we identified two other people that handled and/or inspected the loaded firearm prior to baldwin firing the weapon. these two individuals are armor hannah gutierrez and assistant director davi

you can see alec baldwin beyond the camera. he was holding the gun that fired the shot that killed halyna and severely injured directorjoel souza. we believe that we have in our possession the firearm that was fired by mr baldwin. the actual lead projectile that was fired has been recovered from the shoulder of mr souza. we regard this specific casing and recovered projectile to be the live round that was fired from the revolver by mr baldwin. when alec baldwin was handed the weapon by assistant director dave halls, he was told it was safe, what's called a "cold gun." the person responsible for firearms on set was the armourer — 24—year—old hannah gutierrez—reed. she's admitted ammunition was not secure, but says she checked the guns and found no live rounds. all three are cooperating fully with the investigation. all options are on the table at this point. i'm not commenting on charges, whether they will be filed or not, or on whom. so, the answer is, we cannot answer that question yet until we complete a more thorough

she was also as alec baldwin said in his tribute a mother and a wife. but as far as this inquiries going the focus very much now on the armour, the person that's responsible for firearms on a film set. hannah gutierrez—reed the daughter of a legendary hollywood guns expert and she was serving in the role of chief armourerfor just the second time in her career. there is no direct evidence to link her to this, i might add. obviously she is somebody who detectives will be looking to question in order to get some sort of timeline as to the events on that tragic day. in sicily the former italian interior minister and right—wing leader matteo salvini has gone on trial. he's charged with holding migrants at sea in 2019. he denies accusations of kidnapping and dereliction of duty — after a boat carrying 147 migrants was refused permission to dock on the island of lampedusa for nearly three weeks. a number of other ex—government ministers as well as hollywood actor richard gere are expected to give evidence. mark lowen reports. in august 2019, a spanish

with the revolver like what alec baldwin was using, there are chambers. there is the possibility that there was a piece of debris stuck in the chamber or in the barrel. and if the weapon wasn't checked properly before it was brought to set, there's a very good chance that that projectile is what exited the barrel if it was not a live round. and that's something that we'll find out soon, i hope. >> i think is really crucial because you are pointlining out doesn't need to be a live round because the gun would be able to -- just the speed, right, that the projectile itself would function as -- as a -- a bullet, in essence. now, we have learned, to your point about whether it was checked, that the assistant direct or on this film, dave halls, had been fired for a gun incident in 2019 that injured a crew member. and that year, someone who worked with him on another project complained he consistently failed to announce the presence of a firearm on set. so, what do you make of the fact that -- that this is the person who handed the gun over to alec baldwin, give

but let's start with alec baldwin where i think it's highly unlikely. i think pivoting quickly to this point other things will happen, of course. i think the sheriff's office as we know is undertake-upping an extensive investigation to determine what went, who went, et cetera. there's a review with regard to that particular production. i think there'll be an industrywide review and i think we'll see other legislative efforts potentially to whether or not alec baldwin would be criminally responsible. when we do things in any job we have we reasonably rely upon other people because we operate as a team. in the event it was indicated cold gun, he had no reason to believe it was just that, tchts it was a prop and it would never hurt anyone. so it's difficult to charge him. i think moving on from that last point, pamela, they'll look at other people and what their roles, responsibilities and jobs were. and i think you could make the argument clearly there was negligence here. as to whether that arises to the level of criminality, that's really a harder thing

anchor: what about alec baldwin's involvement in this? correspondent: nothing was said about him at all. we know as an actor, it is unlikely he will be held liable in any way for this, because he was taking a gun that he was assured was a cold gun and was therefore unloaded and safe. he is one of the producers. he will obviously possibly face a collective liability. on the other hand, he is one of the larger group of producers, about a dozen of them. it is unclear who had direct budgetary decisions, whether he is a passive investor, and who was making the decisions in terms of safety on the set, so those are questions that still need to be answered. the da says she likes to be thorough, so this investigation could take weeks and months. anchor: thank you for bringing us up-to-date. correspondent: pleasure. anchor: before we go, baby rhinoceros in the netherlands is learning to take its first steps. the calf is just over a day old and struggling to find its feet. that should not take too long. the animals can run as fast as 80 kilometers a

alec baldwin expressed that his heart is broken and cooperating with authorities. at the intended is once again raising questions about movie set safety. my current spleen pandemic ravaged countries were arrested trying to enter the u.s. illegally in the last 12 months. it is the highest number of illegal crossings reported since 1960. most detained were single adults. i matt finn, now back for "hannity." for all your headlines, log on to foxnews.com. ♪ ♪ >> sean: tonight we have more disturbing moments from biden's fake new cnn town hall from last night. he actually mocked and scalded in the past, lectured in the past demanded in the past, now he's mocking americans that have a different point of view then him. if for reason, they made the choice not to get vaccinated. reasons some of them have underlying medical conditions, some have natural immunity, following that science. you may not agree with them but that's what they are doing. they decided to stand on their principles. that will be their choice. we live in a free society. here's how joe biden after he

i think it's very unlikely alec baldwin will be filing suit. i think he's more likely to end up on the defendant side of a civil suit. >> well, either way, it's just a terrible, horrible situation. elie honig, thanks so much as always. brian, you'll be back a little bit later in the show. so we appreciate you pulling the double duty today. thanks so much for that. we'll see you soon. >>> with the only person of interest in gabby petito's murder now confirmed dead, the hope of getting answers is dimming. right now just a few potential sources of information remain. a waterlogged notebook that was found near brian laundrie's remains. and the last people who are thought to have seen him alive, his parents, are saying. >> reporter: pressure certainly still remains on authorities to find some of those crucial answers that they have been looking for not only for them but also two grieving families, one here in florida and the petito family up in new york. there were personal items that were discovered along with brian laundrie's body last week. among

. >> what do you think with regard to alec baldwin, though? i mean, it's potentially he could look at involuntary manslaughter. but you don't think that would be the case even though he's a very experienced actor, one would assume that he knows about how to handle guns properly. but then, again, that does come into the responsibility of others who are trained, they're specifically on the set to make sure that he knows what he's doing with it. i mean, is there anything into how he used the gun? would that have to be something that would be looked at relative to alec baldwin? >> again, all the facts are going to matter, alex. but i think he's less likely to face personal liability as the shooter because of what he was told, if it's accurate that he was told it was a cold gun. and perhaps, however, liability as the producer of the film, if it was shown he cut corners to save money and failed to take the proper procedures that are necessary to show due care. for example, it is part of the protocol of the movie industry to hire someone who is a lic

this is not about alec baldwin. this isn't about a person who has been a political sort of figure for lack of a better term. this is a about an industry that has a practice that does not appear to be entirely safe and i do think there is journalists really digging into this which is to the good. howie: and the fact that some of the crew walked off to protest working conditions fits into the larger puzzle. isn't the press milk this to some degree because you this is alec baldwin, he's controversial, he played trump on snl. >> sure, he is one of the post well-known actors in america and he killed somebody on a set. it's a tragic story, it's a horrible story. but it's an incredible story that this happened. and of courses been very vocal and outspoken about the nra. yet he and many other actors made millions and millions of dollars profiting off movies that use gun violence. it's tripled according to the american pediatric association. gun violence tripled in movies over the past three decades and yet baldwin and other

that should have been probably what alec baldwin was drilling with. apparently he was practicing a complicated cross draw maneuver, which is not common, where the holster would be on the opposite side and you draw across your body. that should have been probably what he was practicing with. it's interesting that there were 500 rounds removed from the set, whether they were live ammo, blanks or dummy rounds. what a dummy round is, it's basically an inert round. there's no gun bo prouder. sometimes they're filled with bbs so you can share them and hear what they sound like. i'm curious to find the breakdown of how much of each type of round was available on that set. >> scott, you point out the number there of rounds, this is a western. 500 rounds. is that an atypical amount regardless of the breakdown? >> i've been on sets where you can pop 100 rounds in a day. it's not that difficult to do. so if they were -- if this was for the whole production, it's possible. i don't know what the script is like or how much gunfire there was. that is not uncharacter
