Investigators Say Live Rounds Discovered On Movie Set Where Cinematographer Was Killed

Officials say it's too early to determine if charges will be filed.

Investigators in Santa Fe say it's too early to say if charges will be filed after a cinematographer was fatally shot by a prop gun discharged by actor Alec Baldwin. 

Authorities say testing on a "lead projectile" taken from the shoulder of director Joel Souzza, who was injured in the incident, is being tested to see if it was fired from the gun. 

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza says detectives turned up 500 rounds of ammunition on the set of the movie "Rust", including a mix of blanks, dummy rounds and live rounds. 

Investigators also note there was "some complacency" regarding the handling of weapons on the set.
