Actor Alec Baldwin says he did not pull the trigger of a gun when it fired, killing a worker during the filming of a movie. “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them,” Baldwin said. Baldwin spoke with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on a program that was broadcast Thursday. The discussion marked the first time Baldwin has spoken to a reporter about the shooting incident. It took place on October 21 at a movie set in the state of New Mexico. Baldwin was filming the movie Rust at the time. ABC released part of the program on Wednesday. It shows Baldwin crying while describing Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was shot and killed in the incident. Director Joel Souza was also wounded. Baldwin told Stephanopoulos that he had no idea how a live bullet got on the movie set. He said it was not supposed to be on the property. Officials have said Baldwin was told the gun was safe to use.
