Authorities investigating the movie-set shooting by Alec Baldwin will ask for a ballistics analysis hoping that it will help answer the key question of what type of material was discharged from the gun that killed a cinematographer.
Investigators have spoken with the person in charge of weapons on the set, known as an armorer, and are conducting additional interviews with potential witnesses, Juan Rios, spokesman for the Santa Fe Sheriff's Department, said on Monday.
The accident happened on the set of the Western indie movie "Rust" at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe on Thursday. Investigators "are looking at everything that should have been followed, and safety standards on down," Rios said.
