Firearm charge dropped against Alec Baldwin in 'Rust' shooting
Fox News' Matt Finn provides details on the Santa Fe district attorney's decision to drop the firearm enhancement from the involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin.
Nevada authorities have identified a former Hustler cover model as the woman arrested Monday evening in connection with a shooting at the famous Moonlite BunnyRanch brothel, the backdrop for HBO's early 2000s "Cathouse" reality series.
Savannah Henderson, known under her stage name Tiara Tae, faces four counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, drug possession, discharging a firearm where others may be endangered and obstructing a peace officer, according to the Lyon County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to a report of a fight between two workers at the brothel Monday evening, according to authorities. The 911 caller said they heard gunshots around 9:37 p.m., and law enforcement heard more when they arrived. No one was injured, but the suspected shooter holed up in a room for about three hours.
She eventually surrendered after a SWAT team and crisis negotiators arrived along with other assisting agencies, the sheriff's office said in a statement.

The 28-year-old's bail was set at just over $86,000. It was not immediately clear whether she had posted it or hired a lawyer.
Lyon County Sheriff Brad Pope said in a statement early Tuesday that there was "no current threat" to the public.
The sheriff's office is asking anyone with additional information on the incident to call 775-577-5206 or submit information anonymously at secretwitness.com.

Henderson was the March 2019 cover model for Hustler magazine and, according to her website, was featured by the magazine in 2018 and has appeared in smaller publications.

A month after his death from a heart attack, Hof famously won the race for the Nevada State Assembly. In 2015, NBA player Lamar Odom was found unconscious at Hof's Love Ranch brothel, which authorities later shuttered twice in a licensing dispute.
