on NBC’s “Today” show.Mendoza said the investigations into the shooting still haven’t uncovered how live ammunition might have come onto the set or who ultimately was responsible .“No one’s come forward and admitted to bringing the live rounds onto the movie set,” Mendoza said. “There was information from text messages that was concerning based on the fact that live ammo was spoken about and was possibly used on a prior movie set, and that was just a few months before the ‘Rust’ movie set and production began.”Baldwin’s attorneys had said last week that a fine of nearly $137,000 levid on the “Rust” production by New Mexico safety regulators had “exonerated” their client for shooting Hutchins and director Joel Souz, who was injured but recovered.
