The trial in the Maya Millete case is scheduled for Wednesday

SANTA FE, NM (KRQE) – During a press conference on Wednesday, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza stated that although it is still too early in the investigation to comment on possible charges, a live lead projectile has been found from the shoulder of director Joel Souza, after it was fired from a prop pistol on the set of “Rust”. Sherif Mendoza said it would be left to the doctor to decide if it was the same live round that killed film director Halyna Hutchins.

In addition to actor Alec Baldwin, who fired the plug gun, the sheriff also identified Panzer Master Hannah Reed Gutierrez and Assistant Director David Halls as persons who handled and inspected the gun before it was fired. All three people made statements and have cooperated with the authorities in their investigation.
