Investigators will hold a news conference Wednesday to share initial findings in the fatal “Rust” movie-set shooting last week in New Mexico.

The Oct. 21 incident involved actor Alec Baldwin firing a prop gun that killed the film’s 42-year-old cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, and injured director Joel Souza.

The press conference will be led by Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza and District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies. It will be the first set of detailed public comments from law enforcement about the shooting. 

Court records indicate the film’s assistant director, Dave Halls, grabbed the prop gun from a cart, handed it to Baldwin and yelled “cold gun,” meaning the weapon was safe. However, according to an affidavit written by a detective, the weapon was loaded with live rounds. Concerns about Halls’ safety record

Carmack-Altwies has said that the investigation remains in its infancy and the department is far off from any decisions about whether to file criminal charges. She also said those involved in the production have been cooperative with law enforcement and that prosecutors will not fully review evidence until the sheriff’s office completes its initial investigation.

Following the fatal event, reports of workplace issues on the set of “Rust” have begun trickling out, including a walk off by several members of the crew just hours before the shooting. Members of the camera crew were dissatisfied with working conditions on set, including safety procedures.

No criminal charges have yet been filed, and it appears unlikely that Baldwin, 63, will face any in his role as an actor. However, in his role as a producer for the film, he joins a list of associates who may face some degree of liability for what he has called a “tragic accident.”

One of the most decorated cops in the Oakland, California police department got into a shootout when he was approached by several individuals trying to rob him. Ersie Joyner (pictured below), a retired police captain of 28 years, took out his gun and began shooting. One of the robbers was killed at the scene of the crime, and Joyner was injured. The remaining two robbers jumped in a black Nissan and sped away.

Video below shows the retired police captain open fire after about one minute:

Surveillance video shows Joyner pumping gas when three men rush him from a vehicle on the other side of the pump. One suspect grabs the cellphone Joyner was holding, and others appear to be digging in Joyner’s pockets and then pulls a chain off his neck.

Joyner does not struggle with the men but, as the suspects open Joyner’s car’s doors and one appears to take his backpack, Joyner pulls out a pistol and opens fire.

This man was just pumping gas at the gas station. What would have happened if he hadn’t been armed? This is another great reason to carry.

ATLANTA (AP) — A man killed a woman and then died during a shootout with police at an apartment building in Atlanta’s midtown neighborhood early Wednesday, police said.

“We have one individual that is deceased inside the apartment, and the person that we believe is the assailant also has been killed,” Bryant said.

Deputy Chief Charles Hampton said several rounds were fired, entering multiple units. Police have been able to check the other units and haven’t found any other victims, he said.

Since Atlanta police engaged in a shootout with the man, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been called in to investigate, Bryant said. That is standard procedure when officers fire their guns during encounters with the public.

Police had closed streets around at least four square blocks of office and apartment buildings in response to the gunfire. The heavy emergency response included an armored vehicle, an ambulance and multiple squad cars with officers carrying long guns.

Police closed off West Peachtree and Spring streets between 10th and 14th streets, causing headaches for morning commuters.

Police got calls of a shooting inside the luxury high-rise shortly before 3:30 a.m. and officers responded within five minutes, Atlanta police Chief Rodney Bryant said during a news conference. The man was shooting at the officers who returned fire, he said.

Officers found a woman dead inside the apartment where she lived in Atlantic House Midtown, which at 32 stories is one of the city’s tallest residential buildings. Police said it appears the man and woman knew each other and that there was no force entry. Police were trying to determine whether the man also lived in the building or whether he was visiting.
