After the fatal Baldwin shot on the film set, investigators announce a press conference.
It already seems clear that there were apparently large quantities of real ammunition on the set.
Santa Fe - It sounds like an absolute nightmare that those in Santa Fe went through just under a week ago.
After the fatal shot on the film set of US star Alec Baldwin, authorities want to present the first results of the investigation soon.
Meanwhile, a colleague makes serious allegations.
Several employees would not have done their job properly.
The lighting technician of the film set also publishes the last recording that exists of the killed camerawoman.

The exact background is also unclear just a week after the fatal shot in Santa Fe.
On Wednesday, investigators want to publicly comment on the ongoing investigation for the first time in a press conference.
Previously, a colleague of the killed camerawoman had given his grief free rein.
With a moving Facebook post, Serge Svetnoy remembered his colleague - and, according to himself, also a good friend.
However, the film set lighting technician also made serious allegations in the statement.
Three people not named were responsible for the tragic accident.
Shortly before, Svetnoy, also on Facebook, had probably posted the last picture with the camerawoman Halyna Hutchins, who was killed shortly afterwards.
The film crew can be seen on the set, apparently the scene seems to have been shot in a replica church.
The 42-year-old camerawoman can be seen from behind, wearing a thick jacket, a hat and headphones.
It is still unclear whether, and if so, against whom, prosecution is possible.
The responsible district attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies said in an interview with the
New York Times
that so far no possibility has been ruled out.
The investigation is currently focused on ballistic investigations to clarify what type of ammunition was used - and how it got into the weapon.

But it is already clear that there were "large amounts" of ammunition on the set.
As reported by the dpa, citing the news site
The Wrap
, some crew members are said to have shot beer cans with live ammunition in their free time.
The sources of the news site were not named.
Such an incident is said to have taken place a few hours before the fatal incident.
One of the weapons used is said to have been handed to actor Alec Baldwin shortly afterwards.
After the drama on the film set, the rumor mill is simmering.
An assistant director is said to have caused trouble two years before the fatal Alec Baldwin shot.
