The FBI has concluded that Alec Baldwin must have fired the gun normally on the set of 'Rust' -- which took Halyna Hutchins' life ... this according to a new report.
Well, that just doesn't make sense to FBI officials. Their report, per ABC, notes that they set the hammer at varying angles and positions to see if they could make it fire without pulling the trigger ... but they say they couldn't. The only thing the hammer COULD do when de-cocked and then directly struck on its own was detonate the primer.
Now, this conclusion doesn't necessarily mean Alec is in hot water quite yet -- again, we don't know if the testing they did here was with his gun or another ... it's totally possible the revolver he used that day did, in fact, malfunction and that he's telling the truth.These findings have been sent off to law enforcement officials in New Mexico, who are still conducting their investigation dating back to October.
He'd said a few months ago that he was cooperating and getting those records over to local law enforcement in New York -- but it sounds like someone might be dragging their feet. Once that's in, the D.A. can have a review once and for all ... with their own findings, the FBI's findings, plus any accompanying documentation.
