A detective interviewed the assistant director, who said he could only remember seeing 3 rounds, he advised he should have checked all of them but didn’t and couldn’t recall if the armorer had spun the drum.

The local sheriff who is leading the investigation into the fatal shooting of Halayna Hutchins on the movie set of Rust confirmed actor Alec Baldwin was handed a loaded gun.

Authorities have now uncovered over 600 new pieces of evidence related to the incident… including three firearms and 500 rounds of ammunition.

There have been no arrests made at this stage, but the sheriff says the investigation is still very much in its early stages.

Over the course of the next few days and weeks, it’s expected that many more interviews will be conducted.

Meanwhile, authorities have also confirmed that Alec Baldwin has been questioned on numerous occasions and is cooperating.

There were one thousand people on set when the shooting occurred and each individual will be questioned over the course of the investigation.

Meanwhile, during the press conference, the Sheriff said “the facts are clear – a weapon was handed to Mr Baldwin, the weapon is functional and fired a live round killing Ms Hutchins and injuring Mr Souza.”

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
