Alec Baldwin Now Denying He Shot Halyna Hutchins: 'I Would Never Point a Gun at Anyone and Pull a Trigger'

Alec Baldwin Now Denying He Shot Halyna Hutchins: 'I Would Never Point a Gun at Anyone and Pull a Trigger': “Well, the trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger,” the actor told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. “So you never pulled the trigger?” Stephanopoulos pointedly asked him. Did Baldwin pull the trigger? Yes: 98% (1792 Votes) No: 2% (30 Votes) “No, no, no. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them. Never,” Baldwin answered. Baldwin said he had no idea there was a live bullet in the gun and furthermore, he had no clue how live rounds of ammo even got onto the premises. Reuters noted the full interview with Stephanopoulos will be released on Thursday, but some clips were posted on Wednesday. Law enforcement is still investigating the incident and no charges have been filed, according to CNBC. While this killing seems to be a complete accident, Baldwin’s surety that he did not pull the trigger is questionable. Maybe he cannot remember or has blocked out the day’s events in his mind, but for a gun to go off on its own is nearly impossible.
