Here, based on a search warrant affidavit and 911 calls, is a moment-by-moment account of what happened that day.
The crew was filming last Thursday at Bonanza Creek Ranch, a Western movie set outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. In the film Baldwin plays a grizzled outlaw on the run from authorities with his 13-year-old grandson.
Baldwin, dressed in Old West clothes, was huddled with Souza, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and a few others inside the simple wooden structure. One camera was set up, but because they were just rehearsing, nothing was being filmed or recorded. It was about 1:50 p.m. Souza told deputies he was viewing the scene through the camera and nearby monitors when he heard"what sounded like a whip and then a loud pop."
"Two people have been accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun. We need help immediately," the woman said, according to a transcript of the call obtained by CNN affiliate KOAT.The 911 operator asked if the prop gun was loaded with a real bullet. A distraught Baldwin changed into his street clothes and gave his blood-stained Western outfit to authorities. He also gave the prop gun to the armorer -- the person who oversees firearms on movie sets -- who took the spent casing out and handed it to detectives.It remains unclear what was in the gun that Baldwin fired. Detectives learned the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, had laid three prop guns on the cart before Halls, the assistant director, grabbed one and handed it to Baldwin.
