According to the witness, it was one bullet, potentially real ammunition, that discharged from the gun during the accident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[T]he bullet went straight through the body of DP Halyna Hutchins and into the clavicle of the film\u2019s director Joel Souza,\u201d Showbiz411 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.showbiz411.com\/2021\/10\/22\/exclusive-eyewitness-recounts-shooting-on-alec-baldwin-movie-set-one-bullet-ripped-through-both-victims\">reported<\/a> at the time. \u201cVery quickly the set was locked down.
