Hours after Alec Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust,” he whined in a phone call that he didn’t “want to be a public person” anymore and laughed with police, footage released Monday shows.
The video, recorded about three hours after the shooting in a Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office interview room, shows a disheveled Baldwin calling apparent members of his staff to bark orders and gripe about the incident before he speaks with police.
“I’m at the police station .. they’re about to interview me. How is everyone at home? How are the kids?” Baldwin is shown saying in the clip, released Monday by the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office.
When the person tries to offer a few words of sympathy, Baldwin cuts her off.
“What I am is someone who, I don’t want to do this anymore, I don’t, I don’t want to be a public person,” Baldwin seethes.
“I’m the one holding the gun in my hand and everybody was supposed to have taken care of. They always hand me a cold gun,” he continues before barking a series of questions and ending the conversation.
The actor then calls someone else and said he wanted them to come to Santa Fe as the investigation plays out.
“We’ll just spend the time here … We’ll go and enjoy ourselves,” Baldwin says.

That’s two of us.
Well I’ve never said only one person is responsible for this.
Every one who has to sign off on a prop weapon being safe, is. But the bulk of that responsibility should fall on the person THEY ARE PAYING WHOSE LITERAL JOB IT IS to handle and secure and maintain and load/unload those weapons, THE ARMORER. One person’s sole reason for being there is the one that shoulders the most responsibility. The armorer.
Everyone else who is supposed to check along the way before the scene films are too. But the armorer’s reason for being there is to ensure ALL weapons on that set are safe. That’s their focus and prime reason they are even there in the first place.
One of the videos released yesterday has her sitting in a car being questioned by police.
She acts surprised when the cop tells her Baldwin fired the gun. She wasn’t anywhere near the scene when it happened.
Fine. Go find a rock and slither under it and stay there.
Thats not a good thing for her. Why wasn’t she on set and dealing with the weapons?
