A new lawsuit accuses an ammunition supplier of creating dangerous conditions on a movie set where a gun Alec Baldwin held killed a cinematographer.

SANTA FE, N.M. -- A new lawsuit accused an ammunition supplier Wednesday of creating dangerous conditions on a movie set where a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin killed a cinematographer, by including live ammunition in a box that was supposed to include only dummy rounds.

The lawsuit from Gutierrez Reed places blame on ammunition supplier Seth Kenney and his company PDQ Arm & Prop for introducing live rounds to the set where only blanks and dummies were supposed to be present. The lawsuit adds new details to the chain of custody for guns and ammunition on the"Rust" set on Oct. 21, describing the appearance of a new box of ammunition - presumed to be harmless dummy rounds with no explosive - shortly before a revolver was loaded and passed to Baldwin.

It states that authorities found on set"a suspected seven live rounds distributed inside the ammo box, on the ammo cart and in the bandoliers."
