Juan Rios, from the Sheriff’s Office, told The Guardian: “Mr Baldwin came in voluntarily to speak with investigators and after speaking with them he left.”
According to police, the investigation remains open and active. No charges have been filed in regard to this incident. Production has temporarily shut down on the Western film.
This is not the first incident of its nature to happen on a film set. In 1993 Bruce Lee’s son, Brandon Lee, was tragically killed on the set of his film The Crow. The gun was loaded with improperly-made dummy rounds so that the close-up shots would show regular-looking bullets.
Between takes the gun had reportedly not been checked and cleaned properly. In the scene where Brandon was to be shot, the gun was supposed to shoot out a blank but an autopsy revealed a real bullet had hit the actor.
Australian actor and Crazy Rich Asians star Remy Hii shared his own story today in the wake of the news, revealing he was "close" to a similar incident once.
“I still have a small scar from shrapnel from a prop gun that was fired on set. They are no joke. I was lucky, this is an absolute tragedy," he wrote.
