Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin has for the umpteenth time insisted that he did not pull the trigger that killed movie cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie ‘Rust’.
Baldwin who denied pulling the trigger that killed Hutchins during an interview with American journalist Chris Cuomo on his new YouTube show, The Chris Cuomo Project, revealed that he has been frustrated by the media fiasco following the sad incident.
“To focus on one thing – I am not the victim here. Things for me are going to get better, cleared up. I am 1,000 per cent sure,” Baldwin told Cuomo.
“Nothing is going to bring this woman back. She’s dead. She has a little boy.
“This is the real tragedy.”
His comments came days after an FBI forensic report revealed that he pulled the trigger on the gun which killed Hutchins on the set of the movie ‘Rust’ contrary to earlier claims.
According to the report obtained by ABC News, the gun involved in the shooting in October 2021 could not have been fired without the trigger being pulled.

The report states that accidental discharge testing found that the firearm used in the shooting, which was a .45 Colt caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver, could not have fired without the trigger being pulled.
The FBI’s report states, per ABC News, that with the hammer in the quarter or half-cocked position, the gun ‘could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger’ and with the hammer fully cocked, it ‘could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional’.
With the hammer de-cocked with a loaded chamber, the gun would be able to detonate a primer ‘without a pull of the trigger when the hammer was struck directly,’ which the report states is normal for this type of revolver.
