Alec Baldwin says he did not pull the trigger in fatal 'Rust' shooting incident: 'I would never'
FOX News ^ | 12-1-2021 | Tyler McCarthy

Alec Baldwin alleged that he did not pull the trigger on the gun that fired resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in a preview for an upcoming televised interview on Thursday night.

It was announced on Wednesday that Baldwin will sit down for his first formal interview about the fatal shooting that took place on the set of the indie-Western film "Rust." In a preview for the tell-all, Baldwin addresses the fact that he was holding a gun that was somehow loaded with a live bullet that should not have been on the set at all, let alone in an actor’s hand.

During the preview, which is heavily edited for the purpose of teasing the larger interview that’s set to air Thursday evening, an emotional Baldwin states unequivocally that he did not pull the trigger.

"The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger," Baldwin told George Stephanopoulos.

Yep. Guns shoot people, SUVs run over 50 people, killing 6. Seems now days that inanimate objects not only have a will of their own, but a murderous mind set.

This is the Dalia Dipplito defense. Just tell a bald-faced lie over and over, with total confidence.

That still leaves the question as to how it got loaded iwth live ammunition, and how/who cocked the hammer back.

If that defense actually works in court with a jury, we might never see another conviction on a gun crime again.

His gun must have seen an SUV coming and wanted to claim the
credit for itself.

At least “the dog that ate the script page of what the scence was and also pulled the trigger” would have been more believable.

I'm sure they tested that gun.....1100 times....maybe 1000.

So he didn't cock it either? And he didn't point it at her?

And he didn't check it because???

Can't say it was accidental...he pulled the trigger.

I smell an attorney behind the curtain...watching from the wings.

Remember these interviews are slice and dice.

Even if that were true, he still violated the first rule of gun safety by pointing the gun at someone. That’s why we have these rules in the first place.

He can lie his ass off to the Clinton stooge because he’s not under legal oath.

It must have been an automatic weapon. No trigger pull required.

According to leftists, guns just go around shooting people all the time, so this is nothing unusual.

In the real world, Alec Baldwin cocked the hammer and pulled the trigger.
