![]() ![]() ![]() "There were other dummy rounds that were integral to the gun belts," worn by the actors, Kenney said. Kenney said that he wasn't the only weapons provider for Rust, an 1880s western film centered around actor/producer Baldwin's character. There shouldn't have been any live rounds on the set - and nobody, including the armorer, claims to know where they came from. The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department took into evidence from the set three guns, 500 rounds of ammunition (a mix of live, dummy rounds and blanks), the fatal projectile (removed from Souza's shoulder) and spent casings, which were sent to the FBI crime lab in Quantico, Va., for analysis. There's something very unique about the live rounds that were found on Rust, but we've got to wait for the FBI to do its job." ![]() "They're not a match, but they were enough. "They found four rounds that were close enough to take in with them," Kenney said. However, Kenney said the live ammo seized from his business when the search warrant was executed doesn't match the live rounds they found on the set. 45 caliber revolver in question - blanks and dummy rounds for the movie. Torraco also said she'd be "shocked" if Halls faced criminal charges, saying, "He had no responsibility, no liability and certainly not at the level of criminal liability."Īs for Kenney, he said in his first interview that PDQ Arm & Prop supplied the guns - of which there were three, including the antique F.LLI Pietta Long Colt. "It's very, very painful and very hard for him." Torraco said Hall is "heartbroken" over the tragedy and the scrutiny he's been under - as the one who authorities said took the gun from armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and passed to on to Baldwin without thoroughly inspecting it. "It was a pure accident - freak, awful accident unfortunately killed somebody." Halls, who was just feet away from Baldwin and Hutchins during the shooting, which also injured director Joel Souza, has also maintained "since day one that it was an accident," Torraco said. But Dave has told me from the very first day I met him that Alec did not pull that trigger." Torraco said until Baldwin said that he didn't pull the trigger, in a preview clip from his ABC News interview airing Thursday night, "it was really hard to believe. "He told me since day one that he thought it was a misfire." "The entire time Baldwin had his finger outside the trigger guard - parallel to the barrel," Torraco said of Halls's account of the shooting in which director Joel Souza was also shot. Also, Seth Kenney, who had his PDQ Arm & Prop business in Albuquerque searched by authorities this week, spoke out for the first time. On Thursday's Good Morning America, Halls's attorney, Lisa Torraco, said her client has maintained "since day one" that Baldwin's finger was "never in the trigger guard" when the gun fired on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set outside Santa Fe. Alec Baldwin said he "didn't pull the trigger" on the prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the Rust set - and assistant director Dave Halls is backing him up. ![]()
