Alec Baldwin says he assumed gun that killed Halyna Hutchins was empty
Lisa Torraco, a lawyer for Mr Halls, told ABC earlier on Thursday that her client has always said Baldwin never pulled the trigger."Until Alec said that, it was just really hard to believe, but Dave has told me since the very first day I met him, that Alec did not pull that trigger."
No criminal charges have been filed, but two crew members have filed civil lawsuits accusing Mr Baldwin, the producers and others of negligence and lax safety protocols.Alec Baldwin says he did not pull the trigger on the prop gun. Authorities are focusing on how a live bullet, rather than a blank, ended up in the gun and how live rounds got onto the set at the Bonanza Creek Ranch.They have said it was too soon to determine whether charges will be filed, amid independent civil lawsuits concerning liability in the fatal shooting.
Mr Baldwin said he met with the film's armourer, Hanna Gutierrez Reed, for a gun-training session before the shoot, and she appeared capable and responsible.Ms Gutierrez Reed has been the subject of much of the scrutiny in the case. Her attorney has said she did not put the round in the gun, and that she believed she was the victim of sabotage.
