Alec Baldwin has claimed he ‘doesn’t feel guilty’ or ‘responsible’ for the fatal shooting that took place on the Rust film set.
The incident caused the death of 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and made headlines across the globe.
During his first sit-down interview with George Stephanopoulos for Good Morning America, the actor said: “I feel that someone is responsible for what happened, and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me.

“I mean, honest to God, if I felt that I was responsible, I might have killed myself if I thought I was responsible. And I don’t say that lightly.”
The 63-year-old added that he and Hutchins ‘had something profound in common,’ which was that they ‘both assumed the gun was empty’.
Baldwin also claimed that he didn’t pull the trigger, saying: “I think back, I think, ‘What could I have done?’
“The trigger wasn’t pulled, I didn’t pull the trigger. I would never point a gun at anyone and point a trigger at them, never.
“Someone put a live bullet in the gun – a bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property.”
