Alec Baldwin interrogated by police after Rust shooting

Law enforcement officials released a trove of video evidence Monday in the ongoing investigation into actor and producer Alec Baldwin's fatal shooting of a cinematographer on a Western film set in October.

Lapel camera recordings taken by a commanding officer as he arrives at a film-set ranch where medics are tending to the wounded, with an evacuation helicopter whirring overhead, were released by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office. The armorer for the movie production breaks down in tears while looking for the gun.

Other videos show investigators debriefing Baldwin within hours of the fatal shooting, talking with him inside a small office, and rehearsal clips of Baldwin in costume practicing a quick-draw gun maneuver.

"I'm the person who had the gun in the scene," Baldwin says to a deputy working to tape off the scene in one video.

Sheriff Adan Mendoza of Santa Fe County said that his agency's investigation is still open and ongoing as it awaits the FBI's ballistics and forensic analysis, as well as fingerprint and DNA studies.

In a statement, he said, "The sheriff's office is releasing all files associated with our ongoing investigation." There are also photos of ammunition from the set in those files and examination reports.

On Oct. 21, 2021, Baldwin was pointing a gun at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins at a ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe when it went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. They were inside a small church during the setup for filming a scene.

All levels of government require law enforcement professionals. Federal authorities enforce federal laws, whereas state agencies enforce state and federal laws, and local agencies are responsible for enforcing federal, state, and local laws. Police officers protect the public by investigating crimes and apprehending criminals. They may go by different designations, such as officer or investigator agent. The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the primary law enforcement agency of the federal government (FBI). The Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the Border Patrol, the Federal Air Marshals, and the Secret Service are other federal law enforcement agencies. Other government agencies, such as the US Postal Service and the US Forest Service, employ law enforcement officers, although their primary missions are not law enforcement.

It can seem like agencies and officers face liability and risks at every turn. Corrections Officers can be held liable when they fail to protect individuals in their custody for whom they are responsible. When officers and other public officials are sued, and the Plaintiff (the one bringing the suit) wins, the officer or official is found LIABLE. This is similar to a verdict of guilt in a criminal trial. There are different types of liability.
