One of multiple live bullets found on the set of “Rust” by investigators of the 2021 fatal shooting was discovered in the bandolier of actor Jensen Ackles, according to crime scene technician Marissa Poppell.

Poppell disclosed the detail while on the stand during the second day of testimony in the involuntary manslaughter trial of actor Alec Baldwin, nearly three years after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot on the New Mexico set of the Western film.

Asked about the live rounds of ammunition that were discovered on set, Poppell said investigators found some on a prop cart, in a box of ammo and also in two prop gun holsters — the one worn by Alec Baldwin and another worn by co-star Ackles.

    dangerous situation without the owner’s knowledge or consent.

    As I mentioned in my last comment, concerns were raised about safety on set before Baldwin shot someone. So knowledge was there.

    And yes nobody disagrees, a toddler shooting themselves in the face from a parent’s unsecured gun should definitely be punishable
