Alec Baldwin says he never pulled trigger in ‘Rust’ movie set shooting
Actor Alec Baldwin said he would “never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them” in a new interview with ABC News following the fatal shooting on the “Rust” movie set. The official investigation into the shooting is likely weeks from completion.Dec. 2, 2021
==Alec Baldwin says he feels no guilt about ‘Rust’ shooting
“I feel that someone is responsible for what happened, and I can’t say who that is,. But I know it’s not me,” the actor told ABC News. ==
Alec Baldwin said he has only one unresolved question about the fatal shooting on the "Rust" film set: "Where did the live round come from?"
Baldwin detailed his shock and disbelief after the Oct. 21 shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, and discussed the moments before it in an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that aired Thursday.
"There’s only one question to be resolved, only one, and that is where did the live round come from?" Baldwin said.
“Where did that bullet come from?” he said. “Somebody brought live rounds — plural — onto the set of the film. And one of them ended up in that gun.”
The actor and producer said he was rehearsing a scene when the prop gun went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza, 48, at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico. The shooting is under investigation.
In the interview, Baldwin insisted that he did not pull the trigger. In the scene, he was to draw his gun, raise it "and start to cock the pistol — cut," he said.
Baldwin said he was taking direction from Hutchins and pulled the hammer back as far as he could without cocking it.
"I’m just showing her, I go, ‘How about that? Does that work? Do you see that?' … She said, 'yeah, that's good.'" Baldwin told Stephanopoulos. “I let go of the hammer — bang, the gun goes off."
"I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never," he said.

Alec Baldwin recounts fatal 'Rust' shooting: 'Someone is responsible … but I know it's not me'
Alec Baldwin said he cocked the gun but "didn't pull the trigger" in his first sit-down interview since the fatal shooting on the set of the movie "Rust" that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.
“I’m holding the gun where she (Hutchins) told me to hold it," Baldwin, 63, told George Stephanopoulos in an ABC special that aired Thursday night and will stream afterward on Hulu. "In the scene (being rehearsed) I would have cocked the gun, and I said, ‘Do you want to see that? And she said yes. So I take the gun and I sort of cock the gun, I’m not going to pull the trigger."
Hutchins told him to "tilt it down a little bit," he said. "I cock the gun and I go, ‘Can you see that? Can you see that? Can you see that?’ And I let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off."
The trigger and where the live ammunition came from were among the major topics in the emotional hour-long discussion.
"I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them. Never," Baldwin said after Stephanopoulos noted the "gun was in your hand."
"Someone put a live bullet in a gun – a bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property," the actor said.
Alec Baldwin: 'I didn't pull the trigger' of gun on 'Rust' set
By Julia Jones, CNN
CNN)Alec Baldwin told ABC News he never pulled the trigger of the gun that shot director of photography Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust."
"The trigger wasn't pulled. I didn't pull the trigger," Baldwin said in an excerpt released Wednesday from the sit-down interview – his first since the October shooting.
When asked why he pointed the gun at Hutchins and pulled the trigger when that wasn't in the script, Baldwin said, "I would never point a gun at anyone and then pull the trigger, never."
Baldwin also said he has no idea how a live bullet got in the Colt .45 revolver he used in the scene. "Someone put a live bullet in the gun, a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property," he said.
An emotional Baldwin visibly fights back tears when talking about Hutchins.
"She was someone who was loved by everyone who worked with her, liked by everyone who worked with her – and admired," Baldwin said, adding, "it doesn't seem real to me."
When asked by George Stephanopoulos if the shooting was the worst thing that had ever happened to him, Baldwin said yes, "because I think back and I think, what could I have done?"
