At Wednesday’s press conference, Mr Mendoza said two people were known to have handled the gun Mr Baldwin fired before it was passed to him: armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and assistant director David Halls. An affidavit filed in court over the weekend said Mr Halls yelled out “cold gun” when he gave it to Mr Baldwin, meaning that it did not have any live rounds. Mr Halls told police that when Ms Gutierrez-Reed “showed him” the gun “before continuing rehearsal, he could only remember seeing three rounds”, the affidavit shows. Mr Mendoza on Wednesday said investigators had seized about 500 rounds of ammunition from the Rust set – including the single live round that killed Ms Hutchins.
