Alec Baldwin Wasn’t the Only ‘Rust’ Actor Given Live Ammo
A live round of ammo was discovered in the bullet belt of actor Jensen Ackles after his co-star Alec Baldwin’s prop gun misfired on the set of Rust, according to an investigator who testified at Baldwin’s manslaughter trial on Thursday.
Crime scene technician Marissa Poppell told Baldwin’s defense team that five live bullets were discovered on the New Mexico film set, including on a prop cart, in a box of ammunition, and in two prop gun holsters worn by Baldwin and Ackles.
“Mr. Ackles, another actor on the set, turns out that he, as he acted, as he performed, had another live bullet in his bandolier, correct?” asked defense attorney Alex Spiro, according to CNN.
