A New Mexico sheriff involved in investigating the movie set shooting involving Alec Baldwin says the matter is being treated as a criminal investigation.

“I’d be careful using the word ‘accident,’” Sante Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said during a Fox News interview on Oct. 28. “This is obviously a tragedy and it was avoidable, so right now, it’s a criminal investigation.”
