At the time of the tragedy, on a ranch in Santa Fe (New Mexico), Alec Baldwin was working on a scene with cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The actor maintains that he never pressed the trigger of the revolver when the shot went off, saying he was content to cock the hammer. And he said in a television interview that he had “no idea” how a live bullet might have gotten onto the film set and “got into the gun”, which he had been told was harmless.
