During a press conference Wednesday morning in Santa Fe, Adan Mendoza, Santa Fe County Sheriff, confirmed that Alec Baldwin fired the weapon.
About 500 rounds of ammunition have been seized from the set, Mendoza said. He said they believe the spent shell casing from the bullet that was fired from the gun and a projectile was recovered from the shoulder of Joel Souza, the movie’s director who was also injured in the shooting.

The Bonanza Creek Ranch, which has been used for dozens of Western-themed movies and TV series, including “Lonesome Dove” and “Cowboys and Aliens,” now sits deserted.
