FBI's analysis of Alec Baldwin's weapon leaves key questions unresolved

A long-awaited FBI report, including an analysis of the weapon Alec Baldwin fired last October on the New Mexico set of "Rust," resolved some issues but left untouched key questions surrounding the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The FBI did not draw any conclusions about where live ammunition came from but it concluded that the pistol, a replica of a vintage Pietta Colt .45, "functioned normally when tested in the laboratory." The report also noted that, in order for the revolver to fire, the trigger needed to be pulled.

The analysis casts doubt on Baldwin's statements late last year to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos that he did not pull the trigger.
