The interview with Baldwin, produced by George Stephanopoulos Productions, will air on ABC as an hour-long special on Thursday, Dec. 2, at 8 p.m. ET and will begin streaming on Hulu later that evening. On Friday, Dec. 10, a two-hour"20/20" delves into events ahead of the deadly shooting on the set of"Rust" and pending investigations into what went wrong.

On Oct. 21, Baldwin was holding an antique revolver during a dress rehearsal for"Rust" at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico, when the firearm discharged a live round, striking the film's cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, in the chest. The bullet that hit Hutchins also struck the film's director, Joel Souza, in the shoulder, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office.

"Dave has told me since day one that it was an accident," Torraco said."It was a pure accident -- freak, awful accident [that] unfortunately killed somebody.""It's very, very painful and very hard for him," she added.

Basic rule of gun safety: Treat every gun as if it’s loaded. If he’d taken an NRA basic gun safety class, instead of bashing them; no one would have died.

Alec Baldwin Claims He 'Didn't Pull the Trigger' in Fatal 'Rust' ShootingAlec Baldwin says 'he didn't pull the trigger in the fatal 'Rust' shooting during an interview with George Stephanopoulos. Let me guess, It Was Trump All Along! Typical of a leftist to contort history after the fact. Not only did the trigger have to be pulled on his revolver, but also had to be cocked. He is simply twisting facts like leftists do, but in court, this revisionist junk wont stand a chance.
