"Never," he continued.
According to the investigation, a production assistant gave a weapon to Baldwin pointing out that it was unloaded. Then, the actor performed movements to practice the position of his hand and, according to the statements collected by the police, a shot rang out.
Several lawsuits have been presented against Baldwin and the director of Rust, and against other people who participated in the filming, including from the person in charge of controlling firearms, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
