Alec Baldwin

The FBI has completed its forensic analysis into the Rust shooting involving actor Alec Baldwin and passed it along to local police.

Assistant director Dave Halls is the one who handed the gun to Baldwin on the Rust set and declared that it was safe to use, potentially without checking whether it was loaded. The FBI's ballistic analysis will hopefully reveal any malfunctions with the revolver that could have caused it to fire on its own and whether the gun had fired blanks or live ammunition. Instead, he alleges that the gun fired on its own, something the assistant director Dave Halls has corroborated.

Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on the set of "Rust" in October 2021, when a prop gun that Baldwin was holding during rehearsals discharged.

Mr. Baldwin wants to distance himself from what happened, but he can't do that, because the truth is that he is at the center of this tragedy." Reed was assigned to oversee weapons and training as well as lighter duties as a props assistant, according to the Associated Press.

He'd said a few months ago that he was cooperating and getting those records over to local law enforcement in New York (so that they could send it over to NM) -- but it sounds like someone might be dragging their feet. You'll recall ... in a sit-down interview with ABC, he claimed all he'd done was pull the hammer back and pose it for the camera while Halyna coached him on positioning. When they were done, he released the hammer ... and says it fired without him pulling the trigger. Well, that just doesn't make sense to FBI officials. Their report, per ABC, notes they set the hammer at varying angles and positions to see if they could make it fire without pulling the trigger ... but they say they couldn't. The only thing the hammer COULD do when de-cocked and then directly struck on its own (without pulling the trigger) was detonate the primer. Now, this conclusion doesn't necessarily mean Alec is in hot water quite yet -- again, we don't know if the testing they did here was with his gun or another ... it's totally possible the revolver he used that day did, in fact, malfunction and that he's telling the truth. That essentially means it could set off the actual gunshot sound itself, without discharging a bullet, according to the FBI -- but that's obviously not what happened in AB's case. Unclear if they did this testing with the same exact gun Alec used, or a separate but identical one -- but what the FBI notes in their reports is ... that gun, when working properly, will not release a bullet and primer simultaneously by just fiddling with the hammer alone. Per ABC, citing part of the FBI report, the feds found that the revolver in question -- a single-action .45 Colt caliber F.lli Pietta -- could not have been fired without someone pulling the trigger ... a determination they made after conducting accidental discharge testing. The FBI has concluded that Alec Baldwin must have fired the gun normally on the set of "Rust" -- which took Halyna Hutchins' life ... this according to a new report. ABC News published a bombshell story Friday, claiming to have obtained a copy of the forensic analysis report recently completed by the Bureau ... which was examining all facets of the fatal accident in a broader investigation to see if criminal charges are warranted.
