Think thats yet to be determined. its still early in the investigation. >> what would you need to see to say that this wasnt just doing the job badly, this was doing it so badly that it rises to the level of a crime? >> i think theres a lot to prove there. i think its going to be a totality of the circumstances, and that may be based on what happened at the scene and what happened during the incident, but we may look further than that. we may look at the history of whats happened on other sets, ...

Projectile fired from that gun by alec baldwin, the sheriff says struck halyna hutchin, and into the movie sets director, lodged into his shoulder. that leading investigators to determine that that was indeed a live round, an active firearm. of course that was the big question we had, what type of projectile, the sheriff saying that was an active live round of ammunition, raising the question how such a live round made its way on to the set of a movie. i asked the sheriff that question today, he...

That investigators seized on that set were over 500 rounds of ammunition. those will be sent to the fbis laboratory in quantico, virginia, for analysis. again, authorities are trying to determine how much of that is possibly the typical type of dummy rounds you might see on a movie set, and how much of it might have been live ammunition. that will help to determine the person or persons that might be responsible for this death. isa? >> thank you very much, josh campbell there. well, power outa...

Investigation is complete. >> and -- and, madam district attorney, who on the set -- i mean, is it clear to you at least who on the set of the movie had the ultimate responsibility for the safety of the gun? >> i think thats probably a question more for the investigators, for the sheriff. we -- we dont necessarily know that, yet. i think that with the -- with the further interviews that the sheriff indicated they are trying to do, we might be able to come get a clearer picture of that. >> sherif...

That, yet. i think that with the -- with the further interviews that the sheriff indicated they are trying to do, we might be able to come -- get a clearer picture of that. >> sheriff, you mentioned today that there were additional rounds found in the gun that you believe alec baldwin fired. do we know if those were live bullets, as well? or were they blanks? >> right now, indication are are they were dummy rounds. so, they were not similar to the bullet that was fired. they were not similar. th...

Some of your questions? >> so, no. it actually -- i had more questions. there were three firearms recovered from the set. one was a live weapon, which why that was on set is beyond me. the other he said was not a live weapon. so we dont know, was this a blank firing weapon, a replica where it cant -- theres no firing pin, you can sometimes load bullets in them but they wouldnt fire. the third one was a plastic dummy gun. that should have been probably what alec baldwin was drilling with. apparen...

Blank or a dummy? what do you consider live? >> we would consider the bullet live because it caused the death of ms. hutchins and injured mr. souza. >> as we look at one of the last images of halyna hutchins and the crew prior to the shooting, 100 live rounds and suspected live rounds were recovered from the set. the d.a. is not ruling out criminal charges and they have now hired a firm to investigate. lets go to stephanie elam. you were at this presser. what were you hearing? >> reporter: the d...

>> we learned a lot at that press conference to include the amount of evidence they collected. over 600 items including 500 rounds of whats being described as ammunition. now, one step law enforcement has to take is try to determine whether that -- how much of that is live ammunition, how much might be inert dummy rounds typically used on a set. one of the key pieces of information we learned from this press conference is that there was live ammunition on the set, we know how halyna hutchins die...

What else do you have to do? >> basically there are a lot of interviews that have to be done. we determined that there were a limited amount of people or movie staff that were actually in the vicinity of the incident. so there also was approximately 90 people on the movie set itself, so there are a lot of interviews that need to be done still in this case, and thats going to be important. there is a lot of facts that are floating around. i wouldnt say facts, maybe facts and rumors that are float...

Five chambers. chambers. sheriff, how did two people inspect this gun and not notice there was a live round in it? >> were going to try and determine exactly how that happened. >> reporter: set guns contain either blanks or dummy bullet. a dummy is an empty shell casing used in training. blanks are capped with paper or plastic. real bullet are capped with lead and never allowed. >> were going to determine how those got there, why they were there, because they shouldnt have been there. >> reporte...
