Alec Baldwin 'fully cooperating' with police after cinematographer fatally shot with prop gunAlec Baldwin said he is 'fully cooperating' with police and is in touch with Halyna Hutchins' husband, 'offering my support to him and his family'. That would be an awkward conversation. Not a fan of Baldwin, but this was clearly an accident that was not his fault and he has to live with this for the rest of his life. I feel sorry for him. There is a case to answer! Baldwin was handed a fully loaded gun using real ammo.
