SANTA FE, N.M., Oct 27 (Reuters) - Actor Alec Baldwin fired a 45 caliber Colt pistol loaded with a live lead bullet in last week's accidental fatal shooting on the New Mexico set of his movie "Rust" where filmmakers showed "complacency" toward safety, authorities said on Wednesday.

Also in the news conference, Santa Fe law enforcement identified the gun used as a Pietta long colt 45 caliber revolver such as this:
In other words, it was not a cap and ball revolver that some here have tried to claim. It was a real antique replica revolver loaded with live ammunition. It was handled by at least three people, including Baldwin, before the fatal shooting.

Does that mean it was a ‘real’ bullet and not a blank?

I saw that press conference. The Sheriff made a few contradictory statements. He first said there were more rounds in the gun, later said there was only one round. He said it was a bullet, then he said it was a “suspected bullet pending ballistics”.

Does that mean it was a ‘real’ bullet and not a blank? What part of "loaded with a live lead bullet" is confusing to you?

i>Filmmakers showed "complacency" toward safety, authorities said on Wednesday - Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza and District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies told a news conference.
Complacency is not a fighting word. They are rolling over already.

Apologies for my ignorance but is it common practice to use a gun that can fire live rounds in movie making?
I thought using a gun that COULDN’T fire live rounds would be the obvious choice for this very reason.

Sounds like he had his presser a little prematurely.

Most old cap and ball pistols were converted to cartridges. This annoys gun collectors. Too bad for them. Someone would be a fool to keep using cap and ball once cartridges became available.

I don’t hear much about the woman that was murdered and realize that’s what these stories are about. But has anyone seen anything about what her families intentions are?

Baldwin was drawing a revolver across his body and pointing it at a camera while rehearsing when the weapon fired, according to court documents.SHOULD BE: Baldwin was drawing a revolver across his body and pointing it at the victim while rehearsing when he fired the weapon, according to court documents.

It was disclosed days ago it was real ammo. It was described as a "bullet fragment", suggesting there was not actually a complete live bullet in the gun.

Alec Baldwin was an innocent bystander.
He was just standing there pulling the trigger while aiming at a woman, when the gun shot the woman.
