Actor Alec Baldwin spoke publicly for the first time Saturday about the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed by a bullet fired from a prop gun fired by Baldwin on the set of the movie "Rust."
Tracked down by paparazzi on the side of a road in Vermont alongside his wife Hilaria, Baldwin said he couldn't comment on the investigation into the death, which occurred on Oct. 21 south of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
"I've been ordered by the sheriff's department in Santa Fe (not to comment on the case).... It's an active investigation in terms of a woman died, she was my friend," Baldwin said. "...We were a very, very well-oiled crew shooting a film together, and then this horrible event happened."
Baldwin, appearing annoyed at times when his wife interrupted to chastise reporters, confirmed that he had met with Hutchins' husband Matthew and the couple's 9-year-old son, adding that the husband was "overwhelmed with grief."
"There are incidental accidents on film sets from time to time, but nothing like this," he continued "This is a one in a trillion episode. It's a one in a trillion event.... We're eagerly awaiting for the sheriff's department to tell us what their investigation has yielded."
Asked if he would ever work on a film set again that involved the use of real firearms, Baldwin said he wouldn't know how to answer that question, but added that he is "extremely interested" in "limiting" the use of firearms on movie sets.
Baldwin added that he doubted production would start up again on "Rust."

Baldwin knows the laws of the little peeps don’t apply to him.
All the people working on the set know any Truth relating to Baldwin will end their careers.
Let him get back to Boutique shopping.

No, every time you shoot someone with a gun with real bullets, damage is done. Not one in a trillion, every time.
.
Isn’t NBC like Saturday Night Live?
The guy is off-limits in every way.
.
Leftwinger Lorne Michaels had him play Trump instead of SNL alumni Darrell Hammond.
One in a trillion.
Idiot.
Fair enough … though … can he count that high?
And if people start dropping dead from the jab, they”ll be telling us that getting the shot was a personal choice and they never said it was safe. Alec knows you can sell any absurdity these days.
Alec Baldwin..”Take the shot!” “The life you might be saving might be someone else.”
Jail the bastard
Sure thing. That's why Union members walked off the set earlier that day, because it was a well oiled crew, the one you had to slap together in a matter of hours.
He sure was chatty after being told to not comment on the case.
That fact will no doubt be damning in the civil settlement discussions.
But from the point of view of the criminal case, the only undisputed fact is that Baldwin shot and killed a woman.
There are lots of ancillary pieces of information that are not yet in the public realm that people are speculating about, but it’s hard to figure a story where Baldwin isn’t criminally liable.
Of course, the ABQ DA will be highly motivated to find a reason to not charge him, but that’s a political matter, which will reveal a lot about the state of the legal system in New Mexico.
‘One in a trillion episode’….what a casual dismissal of his killing another person…
One in a trillion...that’s like Pfizer vaccine serious side effect rare (and about as accurate).
The shooting? Or the likelihood that "Not so Smart" Alec will see any time behind bars for the incident?
it doesnt matter what you say the odds were Alec
You effed up and killed a person with a negligent discharge of a firearm, at the very least
One in a trillion? There was Brandon Lee, Jon-Erik Hexum just in a few short decades. More like one in ten thousand.
