{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Authorities recovered guns, ammunition and more from the set of "Rust" while investigating a deadly shooting that occurred during a rehearsal for the film, according to a warrant obtained by Fox News.
Last Thursday, actor Alec Baldwin was rehearsing a scene for the western-genre film on the New Mexico set when he discharged a firearm, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Director Joel Souza was also wounded but has since been released from a hospital.
On Tuesday, the Santa Fe County Magistrate Court released a warrant detailing an inventory list of items recovered from the set amid authorities' ongoing investigation.

A previous warrant revealed that Baldwin, 63, was handed the firearm by an assistant director who believed it to be unloaded and described the weapon as "cold" – industry lingo meaning without any ammunition. The gun Baldwin used was one of three that a firearms specialist, or "armorer," had set on a cart outside the building where a scene was being rehearsed, according to court records
