Alec Baldwin Claims He Never Pulled Trigger of Gun That Fired on ‘Rust’ Set

There is astonished reaction to Alec Baldwin’s claim that appears to suggest he was not responsible for the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. “So you never pulled the trigger?” asked George Stephanoupoulous in an interview premiering this week. “No, no, no, no no,” responded Baldwin. Many doubt that claim, but the attorney for “Rust” assistant director Dave Halls backed up Baldwin’s assertion, saying, “Dave has told me from the very first day I met him that Alec did not pull that trigger.”
