why did alec baldwin not check the gun before he took it? why didn't he check the bullets and, you know, just a lot of questions. i'm sure they'll figure it out with the investigation. >> when someone says "cold gun," what exactly does that mean? >> there's no bullets in the gun. >> okay. and before saying that -- >> if it's a hot gun, it has -- >> you're going to check that, right, before you have a -- okay. but if there are three guns, as was the case in this, we do know that, in fact, there were three guns on some sort of a cart that was outside of the small church in which they were doing the filming and that's where that was being stored. if there are three guns out there, i mean, you got to check them all. there's no way you cannot go through all of them, right? >> first of all, i would not have three guns sitting on a cart, they'll be with me in my bag, secured, and nobody will be able to come up and look at it. i would be the one presenting it to the assistant director, the actor, any crew member that's interested in seeing it. i wou

in new mexico seized the prop gun, the spent casing and the western style costume worn by actor alec baldwin when he fired the live round that killed the film's sin kagrapher and wounded the director. our colleague joins us from los angeles. welcome to you. i know some of the details are coming from court documents that were apparently released last night. yeah. the court records revealing giving us a glimpse at the timelinelet leading up to the accident. it is unclear if charges will be filed but talking to legal experts it seems there may be more than one person to blame. >> horror and heart break. the film industry reeling from what many are calling an unfathomable mistake with new details release overnight. >> alec baldwin seen in anguish thursday after firing a prop gun on the set of rust, an independent western, killing cinematographer helena hupins and injuring director joe souza. >> we need help immediately. >> reporter: another crew member and assistant director on the film grabbed a prop gun off the cart handed it to baldwin and called "gold gun" unaware it was loaded with live rou

was the one who handed the gun to baldwin. and they took shell casings out of the gun when police arrived before they handed it to police. they need to know more about what actually happened. >> two points i want to pick up on. shell casings taken out by whom from that particular gun? and also, is there a disconnect when it comes to members of a film crew raising concerns, some walking out, and official reports of safety concerns reaching the production company? i mean, is that merely -- do you know, i mean -- >> i know what you mean. in many ways it might seem like semantics, of course. your first question, the shell casings were removed by the armorer, the police say, before it was handed to them. the second one, look, when several members of a camera crew write in, not just verbally, not just walk off the set, but write in letters of resignation mere hours before this happened, expressing safety concerns as well as financial concerns about the way the project was being handled, that's a red flag of massive proportions. the

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

baldwin seen on saturday comforting hutchins' husband and son. countless unanswered questions and the potential for serious legal consequences. nbc has learned days before the tragic shooting, the gun in question was involved in other accidental misfires. the l.a. times reporting baldwin's stunt double accidentally fired two rounds after being told the gun was cold. meaning not loaded. the same thing yelled out moments before baldwin shot and killed hutchins injuring the film's director. a crew member telling the l.a. times there should have been an investigation into what happened. there were no safety meetings. there was no assurance that it wouldn't happen again. all they wanted to do was rush, rush, rush. hours before hutchins' tragic death, nbc has learned several crew members walked off set, concerned about the film's safety procedures. "rust's" production company says it was not notified of any official complaints. >> i think a charge of neglidgeant homicide is likely but not necessarily for the person who pulled the trigger. more likely f

likely alec baldwin will not look at charges. there is an armorer, by all accounts it was her second movie she had worked on, she had expressed her trepidation about her lack of experience, and the assistant director who did not check the firearm before handing it over. there is not supposed to be live ammunition on any movie set so the existence of the ammunition, some of which was live in nature, raises questions about why that happens. the cops seized the firearm in question. the ammunition was not locked up, it was available out on the set. the firearms themselves were locked up in a safe. there's a lot of unanswered questions and we're looking forward to finding out what the results of that investigation is. as a side note, if i were alec baldwin's lawyer, i would be very upset. if you're told not to speak, don't speak. and don't engage with the media or the public about this, because there is an ongoing investigation. >> and by the way, with regard to the rounds of ammunition, i believe it was reported 500 rounds of ammunit

baldwin shooing his wife away. >> do me a favor? i'm going to answer a question. >> reporter: he fired the deadly shot after handed a prop gun mistakenly with a real bullet inside. still baldwin defending the production. >> we were a very, very well-oiled crew shooting a film together and then this horrible event happened. >> reporter: in sharp contrast to what others recalled. some crew members walked offset over safety concerns but they said we were not made aware of any complaint on set. baldwin looking at a broader change in the industry. >> so what has to happen now is we have to realize that when it does go wrong some new measures have to take place. no real -- that's not for me to decide. it is urgent for you to understand i'm not an expert in this field. i'm all in favor of it. i will cooperate in any way i can. >> reporter: parting with this plea for privacy. >> my kids are in the car crying. >> reporter: you heard him call her a friend. she will be laid to rest later today. >> thank you for that. that's a wrap for me. i'll
