'I didn't pull the trigger': Alec Baldwin holds 1st sitdown interview since shooting

A clip of the interview shows Alec Baldwin breaking down in tears while describing Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was killed on the set of "Rust."

Alec Baldwin told ABC's George Stephanopoulos in an interview airing Thursday that he did not pull the trigger on a prop gun he was holding on a New Mexico film set when it went off, killing a cinematographer.

“I didn't pull the trigger,” Baldwin said. “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never.”

The rabbit hole runs deeper than y'all think.

Everyone knows the golden rule, "never point a gun towards anyone; it is always the unloaded gun that kills"...it is not Baldwin's untrue statement, "never point a LOADED gun..." He also said that he never pulled the trigger, but he took direction from Halyna to point the gun at her and pull back the hammer and then to let go of the hammer...which causes the hammer to fly back and hit the bullet...just the same as pulling the trigger after the hammer was set. Baldwin's interview is to blame others and never him...pathetic is an understatement. I hope the world public does not accept this intentional distortion which George is now also a part of this inhuman effort to blame Halyna for her own killing....sure blame a dead person.
