This image released by ABC News shows actor-producer Alec Baldwin, left, during an interview with “Good Morning America” co-anchor George Stephanopoulos. The hour-long interview about the fatal shooting on the set of Baldwin's film “Rust,” will air Thursday, Dec. 2 at 9 p.m. EST on ABC.
“There’s only one question to be resolved, and that’s where did the live round come from?” Baldwin said in an ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos that aired Thursday night, the first time the actor has spoken in depth on screen about the Oct. 21 shooting on the set of the Western “Rust.” “I didn’t pull the trigger,” Baldwin told Stephanopoulos. “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never.”ADVERTISEMENT
Baldwin said he was doing the interview because the criminal investigation and civil lawsuits surrounding the case were going to take months, and there were many public misconceptions to counter.He added he wanted to make it clear that “I would go to any lengths to undo what happened.”
Regardless...Baldwin's lawyer should be disbarred for allowing him to do that interview.
AlecBaldwln____ Clown, when u get down? When?
He’s kind of right. He’s an actor, not a pro master. Actors act like their character before shooting. The real problem here, indeed, is having real ammunition on set!
Its now becoming blatantly clear that he was targeted and was set-up for his outspoken stance against Trump. The bullet was probably placed in the gun by a Trumpist supporter ... making it REAL easy to narrow down the suspects. Investigators should look for the red Maga hat!
Isn't there also an issue with the multiple safety incidents which were not addressed (at least adequately) prior to the shooting? Really seems like there were multiple points of failure, occurring over multiple days here
It does not look like he is In jail. How is this possible. He killed someone. 🤯
So besides self driving red SUV's we now have self-firing guns. When is this terror by inanimate objects going to end?
morgfair Well well, he didn't pull the trigger, then who did?
This is all BS. 1. He says he was told it was a cold gun. 2. It fired when he let go of the hammer. 3. When she went down his first thought was 'Did she faint?'. If you 'knew' it was a cold gun, wouldn't your first thought be ... WTF! How did that fire?! Wouldn't the gun recoil?
Where did the live round come from?
The fight against Baldwin facing consequences continues with this PR
Once a gun is in your hand, it is that person's responsibility. Never point at another person, yourself, always assume it's loaded until you check it yourself. Gun safety 101. Based on his words, he should have pointed gun to the ground b/f releasing hammer.
Oh bullshit.
I would like to thank George Stephanopoulos and Alec Baldwin for sitting down and doing this. It obviously was very painful. Let's continue to show respect to Haylena's family. And refrain from hindsight. All are suffering. 🙏🙏🙏 HalynaHutchins prayers AlecBaldwin
People die every day from idiots with guns and you do a story on a Hollywood actor ?
Guns don't fire unless you pull the trigger. Maybe if he dropped it. This is a huge mistake. I have a long Colt you have half cock... Full cock. The only way to put the gum back in safe on this model is too keep your hand on the hammer depress the trigger let down easy... 🤥
Dudes a garden variety dipshit. Who peaked as an actor in Beetlejuice imo. 🤨
It's so easy to comment because it didn't happen to us. I hope we all can take a breath and realize what these families are going through. The sheriff/FBI will get to the bottom of it. Conjecture is not needed now we weren't there. God bless all the families
Backed by the AD who apparently didn't even know what he was looking at when he 'checked' the gun is now telling us he knows Alec did not pull trigger. Gun just magically fired itself. Yeah... he is someone to listen to...
. 3 retired FBI special agents have some questions they'd like to Interview Mr. Baldwin with. Beginning with what exactly his relationship with his cinematographer was ? How long had he had it ? And would he be willing to answer some more of these questions under a polygraph ?
So he claims he didn’t pull the trigger, and no one loaded the gun. What is this, make believe land? No one wants to take responsibility.
He shot & killed a woman. May be an accident, Involuntary Manslaughter, but that definitely is a prison sentence. A woman is dead because Alec Baldwin shot & killed her
He didn’t pull the trigger and she didn’t put the round it but someone the gun fired a life round and killed someone…. Sure
Yeah right Dearié, éh¿ In FACT thé önlý issue here is tö tell thé TRUTH which Baldwin clearly isn't. Shame ôn yoû. ŮĢH!
to be sure, this is all very unfortunate for both hutchins and baldwin but i couldn't get baldwin's story. are we into self-aiming and self-firing guns now?
He's correct. But he did pull the trigger
Oh, because the Union crew walked and the production should have shut down.
And here I thought him killing a person was the biggest issue
This is getting weird now. 'So who put the murder weapon there?' would-be-suspect: 'Dont matter' lawyer: 'Yeah, whatever he says'
