Actor Alec Baldwin gave a slightly different testimony of what happened on the set of “Rust” in the hours following the incident, newly released video footage reveals. 
The Santa Fe County Sheriff&#8217;s Office shared body cam footage, crime scene photos, witness interviews, and text messages they’ve gathered so far, which help paint a clearer picture of the 64-year-old actor’s involvement in the shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after a gun Alec Baldwin was holding discharged in October.
The “30 Rock” alum has maintained all along that he never touched the trigger of the .45-caliber Old West revolver. During an interview with ABC News in December, Baldwin said he cocked the gun, but “did not pull the trigger.&#8221; He said he was sad for what happened but ultimately wasn’t the cause of Hutchins’ death.
&#8220;Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can’t say who that is, but it’s not me,&#8221; Baldwin said at the time. 
Now footage of the interview shortly following the “Rust” shooting reveals more details about what happened that fateful day. 
In the first moments of his interview, Baldwin inquires if he’s being charged with anything. The deputy confirms he’s just there for questioning and says the actor has already been read his Miranda rights. 
&#8220;When I shot the gun, away from the cameraman, I never aim the gun at the camera, I turned and I went like this,&#8221; he told investigators, making a gun with his fingers and demonstrating, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/alec-baldwin-rust-movie-shooting-videos">reported</a>. &#8220;And she was there. And the gun went off. And she just went right on the ground.&#8221;
“I take the gun out slowly. I turn and cock the pistol. Bang! [Hutchins] hits the ground, she goes down. [Souza] goes down, screaming, he’s like ‘Jesus Christ,’” Baldwin also says, <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/04/25/alec-baldwin-didnt-want-to-be-a-public-person-after-rust-shooting/">according to</a> the New York Post. “It’s supposed to be a cold gun … Now this is a puzzle to me … this is making me very emotional.”
Baldwin also says, &#8220;Hannah handed me the gun,&#8221; referencing on-set armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed.
In a video taken by police earlier the same day, Baldwin was recorded making calls to multiple people as he awaits his interview with law enforcement. 
“You have no idea how unbelievable this is and how strange this is,” the actor can be heard saying while speaking on the phone.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to be a public person,&#8221; Baldwin says in the recorded footage. &#8220;I&#8217;m the one holding a gun in my hand that everyone was supposed to have taken care of.&#8221;
Baldwin was named in a lawsuit filed by Hutchins’ family, claiming the actor and the film&#8217;s producer&#8217;s were responsible for “reckless conduct and cost-cutting measures,” which “led to the death of Halyna Hutchins,” The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/just-in-alec-baldwin-being-sued-by-slain-cinematographer-halyna-hutchins-family-for-reckless-conduct">reported</a>.
