Alec Baldwin described the moment the gun fired the fatal shot in his first sit-down interview since 'Rust' tragedy: 'I let go of the hammer, the gun goes off'

Baldwin described for Stephanopoulos how he pulled the revolver’s hammer back as far as he could “without cocking the actual gun.” He kept asking Hutchins, “Can you see that?”“I let go of the hammer. Bang! The gun goes off,” Baldwin told Stephanopoulos.from the interview included him saying, “I didn’t pull the trigger… I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never.”

The actor said the notion that his gun fired a live bullet “was not even in reality.” When he finally saw an image of the bullet that was recovered from director Joel Souza’s shoulder, “it was like seeing aliens,” he said. “I wake up constantly where guns are going off. And these images come into my mind and have kept me awake at night. I haven’t slept for weeks,” he said, adding that he’s due to shoot another movie in January, but isn’t sure he’ll have the strength.Asked about the criminal investigation into the shooting, Baldwin said he’s been told it’s “highly unlikely” he’ll face any criminal charges.
