A breakthrough in the investigation into last year’s deadly shooting on the set of the movie “Rust.”
According to a new forensic report- the gun used in the shooting could not have been fired without the trigger being pulled.
That gun was in the hands of actor alec baldwin at the time of the shooting.
He has maintained he thought the gun did not have ammunition in it — and that it fired accidentally without him pulling the trigger.
Investigators will now focus on how a live round of ammunition may have made it onto the movie set.
The local district attorney has yet to decide if charges will be pressed in the shooting.
Detectives are still waiting on phone records from baldwin.
