Police investigating if recycled ammo was used in Rust shooting

Police investigating the on-set shooting at the filming location of Rust are looking into whether recycled ammunition was used

Authorities who are investigating the fatal shooting on the set of Rust are looking at whether recycled ammunition may have been used.

Authorities are concerned that live ammunition made its way into a stash of dummy bullets on the set of the film in New Mexico.

New documents include a search warrant for the premises of a local supplier of ammunition and movie props.

The supplier told police he suspected that the live bullets may have been “reloaded ammunition” that he got previously from a friend.

Reloaded ammunition is made up of recycled components, including bullets.

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded when a gun was safe fired by actor Alec Baldwin in October.

No criminal charges have been filed.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
