Alec Baldwin blames assistant director and props manager for Rust shooting

Actor gives rare interview in which he insists he isn't to blame for Halyna Hutchins' death, despite holding gun that fired fatal shot

The actor and director Alec Baldwin has said the assistant director and the props manager for his movie Rust were responsible for the on-set death of the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during filming last year in New Mexico.

Facing a lawsuit from Hutchins' family, Baldwin gave a rare interview on Friday in which he insisted he was not to blame for the October 2021 death, despite a shot from a gun he was holding killing Hutchins and wounding the director, Joel Souza.
