Actor Alec Baldwin told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that he cocked the gun that fatally shot the cinematographer for his unfinished film Rust — but insisted that he did not pull the trigger.
Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded in the October 21, 2021, shooting incident.
The first part of Stephanopoulos’ interview with Baldwin aired Thursday, and a new preview clip aired Friday morning on Good Morning America. USA Today quoted Baldwin recounting the fatal moment.
Baldwin said, “I’m holding the gun where she [Hutchins] told me to hold it.”
He added, “In the scene [being rehearsed] I would have cocked the gun, and I said, ‘Do you want to see that? And she said yes. So I take the gun and I sort of cock the gun, I’m not going to pull the trigger.”
Baldwin said that Hutchins then had him adjust the angle at which he was holding the revolver.
He then told Stephanopoulos, “I cock the gun and I go, ‘Can you see that? Can you see that? Can you see that?’ And I let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off.”
Baldwin also told Stephanopoulos, “The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger.”

He is frequently cocked
There’s a living witness who was there that heard everything. We’ll find out if any of Alec’s BS holds water.
I’ll take “Liar” for $100, Alec.
Or coked up.
“So I take the gun and I sort of cock the gun....”
“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr. Snuffleupagus!”
He should be in jail explaining it to other lowlife prisoners 🤪
He's thinking of our lil ole cap guns.
And everyone will back him up?? How many times will he change his story?
Alec Baldwin admits he had pulled the pin on the hand grenade.
> Baldwin said, “I’m holding the gun where she [Hutchins] told me to hold it.” <
So it’s all Hutchins’ fault. Maybe Baldwin should sue her estate for emotional distress.
/s
Idiot should never have been allowed to even hold a gun.
Guns don’t go off by themselves....they aren’t like suvs that randomly kill folks.
He held the gun. He cocked the gun, making it ready to fire. He pointed the gun at people. He caused the hammer to trip, firing the gun, unless the someone can demonstrate how the cocked gun could fire without any input from the person holding it.
The Grey-Bar Hotel should be calling with his reservation.
It’s been a great couple of weeks. Baldwin self-destructs, ABC looks the fool for aiding & abetting, the Cuomo Dynasty is a smoldering crater and Brandon has a case of flu, which is serious for demented, old men. I like. I really, really like.
Firearms safety 101.
All weapons are considered loaded with live rounds in relation to safety.
There is something wrong in Baldwin’s mind.
Bill Clinton: I didn’t have sex with that woman.
Alex Baldwin: I didn’t shoot that woman.
Joe Biden: I didn’t whatchamacallit with that woman.
brandon has the flu? i thought that didnt exist, hasnt been a case in over a year until now.
I’ll repeat something, and this is something that many have said.
There is ALWAYS a camera running on set. If he was practicing anything, he was being recorded.
