However, prosecutors have yet to determine if charges will be filed in the case as they review the latest reports, including the FBI’s on the revolver and ammunition collected after the incident.

“This is the third time New Mexico authorities have found that Alec Baldwin had no authority or knowledge of allegedly unsafe conditions on set, and that the person in charge of security stated that the gun was “cold” (without ammunition),” attorney Luke Nikas said in a statement.
Baldwin accidentally shot because there was a “no obvious intent to cause injury or death,” and there was no “convincing demonstration” that the gun was intentionally loaded with live bullets on set.
In December, the actor told ABC News that he pulled the gun on Hutchins after she told him to do so on the set of Rust, which Baldwin was also producing. The gun went off after he cocked it, but he denied pulling the trigger.
