A lawyer for Alec Baldwin said on Thursday that an investigation by New Mexico has cleared his client of wrongdoing in the fatal shooting on the set of"Rust," pointing out that its report stated the actor believed his gun held only dummy rounds.

In response to the findings, Baldwin's attorneys said in a statement that his authority on the production was limited to approving script changes and creative casting and that he had no authority over matters that were subject to the investigation. The investigation found the production firm had been aware that firearm safety procedures were not being followed and demonstrated"plain indifference" to the hazards, the New Mexico Environment Department said in a statement.

The probe found that Rust management ignored concerns raised by crew members about firearm and pyrotechnics misfires on set.
