Actor Alec Baldwin claimed during a new interview with ABC News that he did not pull the trigger on the firearm that discharged a bullet that hit and killed someone on the set of the movie &#8220;Rust.&#8221;
ABC News reports:
<blockquote>On Oct. 21, Baldwin was holding an antique revolver during a dress rehearsal for the Western at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico, when it discharged, killing the film&#8217;s cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, and wounding its director, Joel Souza.</blockquote>
Halyna Hutchins &#8220;was someone who was loved by everyone who worked with and liked by everyone who worked with and admired,&#8221; Baldwin said. &#8220;And even now, I find it hard to believe that, it just doesn&#8217;t seem, it doesn&#8217;t seem real to me.&#8221;
When pressed by ABC News&#8217; George Stephanopoulos about how &#8220;it wasn&#8217;t in the script for the trigger to be pulled,&#8221; Baldwin responded by claiming, &#8220;Well, the trigger wasn&#8217;t pulled. I didn&#8217;t pull the trigger.&#8221;
&#8220;So you never pulled the trigger?&#8221; Stephanopoulos pressed.
&#8220;No, no, no, no,&#8221; Baldwin claimed. &#8220;I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never.&#8221;

TRANSCRIPT:
<blockquote>ALEC BALDWIN: She was someone who was loved by everyone who worked with and liked by everyone who worked with and admired. &#8230; And even now, I find it hard to believe that, it just doesn&#8217;t seem, it doesn&#8217;t seem real to me.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS, ABC NEWS HOST: You haven&#8217;t said much in public since that tragic accident. Why speak out now? &#8230; I think the big question and the one you must have asked yourself 1,000 times, how could this have happened? &#8230; You&#8217;ve described it as a one in a trillion shot, and the gun was in your hand. How do you come to terms with that? &#8230; It wasn&#8217;t in the script for the trigger to be pulled.
BALDWIN: Well, the trigger wasn&#8217;t pull. I didn&#8217;t pull the trigger. 
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you never pulled the trigger? 
BALDWIN: No, no, no, no. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never.
STEPHANOPOULOS: What did you think happened? &#8230; How did a real bullet get on that scene?
BALDWIN: I have no idea. Someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn&#8217;t even supposed to be on the property.
STEPHANOPOULOS: How do you respond to actors like George Clooney who say that every time they were handed a gun, they checked it themselves? &#8230; Your emotions are so clearly, so right there on the surface. You felt shock. You felt anger. You felt sadness. Do you feel guilt? &#8230; You said you&#8217;re not a victim. But is this the worst thing that&#8217;s ever happened to you?
BALDWIN: Yes. Yeah. Yeah, because I, I think back and I think of what could I have done.</blockquote>
