In a video of his interview, he said he thought the gun was 'cold' when he was handed it by Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the movie.
Baldwin, at the start of the video, asks if he is being charged with anything. He then lets out a huge sigh and says: 'We've done this for two weeks and we've done it the right way every day.'
He goes on to insist that the gun they had been using before was 'cold'.
'Right before you shoot. I went to lunch.
'She disarmed me - Hannah - she always handled the gun. I come back, they hand me the revolver - Hannah - they arm me. You're assuming it's a cold gun. I put the gag in the shot.
'I take the gun out , as it clears - I turn and cock the gun and the gun goes off. It's supposed to be a cold gun.
'Bang, she hits the ground. [Joel Souza] goes down, screaming going "Jesus Christ!
'I have never seen this before... What came out of that bullet that went through her shoulder?.... She was right in front of me.'
The bullet went through Souza's arm first and then struck Hutchins. He recovered with an injury, but Hutchins died in the hospital.
He went on to describe Gutierrez-Reed as 'the daughter of a famous gun guy' who gave him the weapon.
Towards the end of the interview, Baldwin is shown a photograph of what was removed from Souza's shoulder.
Shocked, he says: 'That's a bullet. Somebody put a live bullet in the gun.'

I haven’t been following this all that closely, but the order of events as described in this article make no sense.
I think the woman was hit first and then the man.
I also think it was negligence, not accidental.
If you’re holding the gun, you’re responsible for what it does. No one else.
It’s that simple.

Seems like this go one of several ways. Perhaps the Sheriff’s office is trying to apply pressure to the prosecutor. Alternatively, they expect no prosecution (of Baldwin at least), and one more round of letting Baldwin look like a guilty jerk getting away with murder is the punishment.
