World enews: Alec Baldwin shooting: Santa Fe district attorney says criminal charges are ‘on the table’

The Santa Fe County district attorney has said criminal charges are possible in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.

Mary Carmack-Altwies told The New York Times she “hadn’t ruled anything out” in an interview on Tuesday.

Ms Carmack-Altwies said investigators were focusing on ballistics to determine what kind of round had killed Ms Hutchins and who had placed the ammunition in the gun.

She said a search warrant executed on the set of the Bonanza Creek Ranch found an “enormous amount of bullets on this set” as well as three revolvers, spent casings and ammunition.

“We need to find out what kinds they were,” Ms Carmack-Altwies said.
