Contradicting Alec Baldwin’s prior claims, the FBI forensic report on the Rust fatal shooting case claims that the gun used in the accident could not have been fired without pulling the trigg…

fatal shooting case claims that the gun used in the accident could not have been fired without pulling the trigger.

The FBI’s accidental discharge testing determined that .45 Colt caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver needed a trigger pull to fire. It added that the gun could not detonate “without a pull of the trigger when the hammer was struck directly.” Such response is normal for this type of revolver, the report stated.

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s investigators say that they received the FBI’s completed forensic reports August 2, which were then sent to New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator for review. “The OMI had advised the Sheriff’s Office that they required these forensic reports to finalize their investigation,” reads a release from the Sheriff’s Office, which received the reports Wednesday.

Baldwin's mistake was trusting the weapon was safe when handed to him, he should have checked it. It was an avoidable accident, not the first of it's kind and probably not the last.

So much for Baldwin's claim then.

Oh my
