According to an affidavit, Deputy Chief David Halls removed the gun from a cart full of accessories and handed it to Alec, telling him that it was a “cold gun,” which meant that It didn’t have any real bullets.
However, he told investigators that gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed had opened the gun for inspection before handing it to Alec, but that she only remembered checking three of the five bullets.

In January, more than two years after the tragedy, it was revealed that a New Mexico grand jury had indicted Alec for involuntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors renewed charges that were originally filed and then dismissed in April 2023, after receiving a new analysis of the gun, which concluded that “the trigger needed to be pulled or depressed enough to release the fully cocked or retracted hammer from the evidence revolver.” “. ‘
