The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office finally released its report on the accidental shooting on the set of Alec Baldwin‘s film Rust.
As Perezcious readers will recall, the 64-year-old actor discharged a prop gun – which he believed was “cold” at the time – on the set of the Western film in October of last year, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.

On December 2, the report noted that Alex messaged him that he and Halyna “believed the gun was empty.”

Two days later, he asked if there was a chance he would be charged. Alec also texted his assistant two days after the shooting,
