From the Wikipedia article about the "Rust" movie they were filming:

Premise[edit]​

Harland Rust is an outlaw who rescues his thirteen-year-old grandson Lucas after he is sentenced to hang for an accidental murder. Now fugitives, the pair have to outrun U.S. Marshal Wood Helm and bounty hunter Fenton "Preacher" Lang.[2]

Oof.
 
The local union that organizes the prop mangers said none of their people were on site, it was all local New Mexico workers. Apparently one of them loaded a live round in the gun. I suspect it was a POV shot and the actual shot was fired as part of the scene. It is my understanding the actor is not allowed to touch the ammo, load or unload the firearms on set. I would guess whoever loaded the gun is going to jail. There is apparently video of the shooting.

Now more penance to be paid to the MPT gods.

The article I read did not mention live ammo. Actors killed using blanks is not a new thing.
