Alec Baldwin: I did not press the trigger

"I would never aim with a gun to anyone and he would press the trigger, never." So the actor Alex Baldwin is shown in an advanced fragment of the interview that he has granted to the ABC television network, which will be issued on Thursday.

Alec Baldwin assured that he "never pressed the trigger" of the gun with which he supposedly killed the photography director Haleyna Hutchins during the filming of film Rust last October.

In this advancement of the interview, the actor does not provide more details about whether the gun was shot alone or describes the accident, although it does not claim that I could not imagine that there was real ammunition in the study.

"Someone put real ammunition on that pistol, a bullet that had not even been in the building," Balwin added. The actor, who also served as a producer in the film, broke how to talk about the death of Hutchins: "It does not seem real to me," he said. She was someone "dear and admired by all those who worked with her," he remembered.

It is the first interview that Alec Baldwin offers after the accident of October 21. He until now he had only spoken publicly through Twitter to communicate that he was "devastated" and collaborating with police investigation.

Baldwin's statements arrive a day after the state researchers of New Mexico (US) order the registration of the company that supplied ammunition and weapons for filming of film.

According to the local press, the police tries to find out the exact origin of the Ammunition delivered by the company PDQ Arm & Prop LLC, a company based in Albuquerque and whose owner, Seth Kenny, told the authorities that he remembered having seen a cargo that "He caught his attention" because he was unusually labeled.

The owner of the business had previously worked with Hannah Gutiérrez Reed's father, the 24-year-old girl hired as in charge of weapons in the production of Baldwin and whose parent has recognized that in other films used real ammunition for shooting practices.

Two weeks ago the monitoring of the film script, Mamie Mitchell, and the Head of Enlightenment, Serge Svetnoy, presented demands against Baldwin and other members of the production by putting at risk the security of employees.

The statements of team members who worked on the shooting of "Rust" describe a precarious work environment in which the protests were piled up and for which they resigned half a dozen employees on the same day of the accident.

For his part, the sheriff of the Santa Fe town, Adan Mendoza, said last month that he had found some 500 ammunition cartridges in the studio, among which was a mixture of "fake cartridges, false bullets and true bullets."
