The county police confirmed that “the tragedy was caused by a firearm that was supposed to be a claw, while investigators are trying to establish what kind of bullets were fired and how.”
“Rust” is a movie set in the 1880s, starring Baldwin, Jenson Ackles (American), and Travis Fimmel (Australian).
