anchor: what about alec baldwin's involvement in this? correspondent: nothing was said about him at all. we know as an actor, it is unlikely he will be held liable in any way for this, because he was taking a gun that he was assured was a cold gun and was therefore unloaded and safe. he is one of the producers. he will obviously possibly face a collective liability. on the other hand, he is one of the larger group of producers, about a dozen of them. it is unclear who had direct budgetary decisions, whether he is a passive investor, and who was making the decisions in terms of safety on the set, so those are questions that still need to be answered. the da says she likes to be thorough, so this investigation could take weeks and months. anchor: thank you for bringing us up-to-date. correspondent: pleasure. anchor: before we go, baby rhinoceros in the netherlands is learning to take its first steps. the calf is just over a day old and struggling to find its feet. that should not take too long. the animals can run as fast as 80 kilometers a

how that live round ended up in baldwin's gun is still unclear. the investigation is focusing on these two: armorer hannah gutierrez-reed and assistant director david halls. in an affidavit released today, gutierrez-reed told detectives that during a lunch break, the firearms were secured in a safe but the ammo was left on a cart on the set, not secured. halls examined the gun before rehearsal but did not check all five chambers. chambers. sheriff, how did two people inspect this gun and not notice there was a live round in it? >> we're going to try and determine exactly how that happened. >> reporter: set guns contain either blanks or dummy bullet. a dummy is an empty shell casing used in training. blanks are capped with paper or plastic. real bullet are capped with lead and never allowed. >> we're going to determine how those got there, why they were there, because they shouldn't have been there. >> reporter: the santa fe district attorney says criminal charges have not been ruled out. >> all options are on the table at this point. i'm not-- i'm

investigators are also looking into who handled the gun before it was given to baldwin. ccording to a police report, hannah gutierrez reed, the person in charge of weapons on the set, prepared the gun then assistant director dave halls handed it to baldwin. according to a producer, halls was fired from a different project back in 2019 after an alleged gun mishap. the district attorney also responded to reports that crew members were using live ammunition for target practice before the shooting. she said those reports are unconfirmed. >>> a philadelphia boy who survived a crocodile attack in mexico is sharing the gripping details. 12-year-old charlie buhl was playing hide-and-seek at a resort in cancun when the crocodile latched on to his leg. employees and guests at the resort came to the rescue. >> the workers helped pull me out and they were kicking the crocodile's eyes and putting a blue pillow on its head then it finally let go and like they put me on the ground. >> charlie is on the road to recovery. he is grateful to the doctors who saved his leg. >>> and some terr

we now know that when alec baldwin was handed the weapon, he was told it was safe. what's called a cold gun. yet the shot, or shots, it released killed cinematographer halyna hutchins and seriously injured directorjoel souza. the person responsible for the safety of all weapons used on the rust set was 24—year—old hannah gutierrez—reed. as the daughter of a legendary hollywood armourer, she'd been around guns all her life but, just a month ago, she spoke of her lack of experience in the job. by all means, i'm still learning, but, yeah, dad has taught me everything. i think loading blanks was like the scariest thing to me, because i was like, "oh, i don't know anything about it." there've been unconfirmed reports of complaints about safety standards on the set and that a number of crew walked out hours before the shooting happened. at this stage in the investigation, we don't know if hannah gutierrez—reed was among those that remained. halyna hutchins honed her craft here. one of her teachers said she had a unique perspective of the world. as herfriends, fami

alec baldwin's lawyer, if he's any good, i'm sure he is, has told baldwin you should not say anything at all. if you have to say something, don't say anything about the substance of the case. you can see alec baldwin struggling to find the right balance between wanting to address the situation but not saying anything of substance. >> he did say it was a freak occurrence, quote, one in a trillion. patrick, there were safety concerns on the set, and previous safety complaints against the film's assistant director david halls, who handed the gun to baldwin. do you think this tragedy will lead to reforms on movie sets? >> i think there is two really important factors here. one, as you mentioned, this assistant director had been pulled off of a set in 2019 for an eerily similar situation. so clearly there is an investigation here in this particular instance. but, yes, i do think this is already leading to reforms in so many different areas. we have seen multiple shows now, states they're no longer going to have live ammunition or gun -- real guns, they'll do everything in post. we're seein

so i think i'd want to trace back what was told to alec baldwin. it appears that he was told cold gun. what was told to that person about what was in the gun and anyone else. and so i think there are potential crimes here, if not of kind of an involuntary manslaughter by alec baldwin, potentially by his production company for failing to take due care if it amounts to gross negligence. >> what do you think with regard to alec baldwin, though? i mean, it's potentially he could look at involuntary manslaughter. but you don't think that would be the case even though he's a very experienced actor, one would assume that he knows about how to handle guns properly. but then, again, that does come into the responsibility of others who are trained, they're specifically on the set to make sure that he knows what he's doing with it. i mean, is there anything into how he used the gun? would that have to be something that would be looked at relative to alec baldwin? >> again, all the facts are going to matter, alex. but i think he's less likely to face personal

who is actually responsible, is it the person that handed the weapon to baldwin, is it baldwin himself, that will be a question from the district attorney. we're learning from that man himself, he failed to properly inspect that weapon for safety purposes. >> you spoke with the santa fe district attorney today, this is a big investigation, hundreds of pieces of evidence to go through, lots more people to interview, did she give you any sort of time line? >> you know, she said that this is something unlike anything they have ever seen here in new mexico, but she said that they will be working this as they do other investigations, as methodically, going through each piece of evidence as she tries to render her decision in the prosecution. she's aware of outside pressure, people wanting her to hurry up and render a decision. she's not being moved by the pressure, she's doing this by the books. we're getting indication about what it is that will be the driver in her decision to possibly bring charges. take a listen to what she said. >> and so as of this point, would you say that there's an

is this somebody who was in a ron howard o b, or is it alec baldwin? believe it or not, he is not the most lovable of defenders. now still, i don't believe he's going to be charged, nor should he be. and let me also tell you something, we don't know any thing. the facts of the case that are being a deuced right now would blow your mind that never make newspaper never make the news. never make website. we don't know anything. and we also tell you, when there's criminal liability and state people are going to be pointing fingers. and also you have to look at the issue of, was there sabotage involved? you have a case where people were complaining, look, think like colombo, don't worry about conspiracy theories. you've got people who, who were, who were not paid, they didn't like the lodging. it in like a lot of things. there should not have been a bullet within a 100 ally brown ammunition within a 100 miles of that set. how does that even occur? live ammunition anywhere near should have never been there. so that fact alone and a lot of other factors means
