The FBI concluded after months of testing that the gun Alec Baldwin held and aimed at Halyna Hutchins when it went off and killed her, needed the trigger to be pulled in order to fire. But Baldwin insisted he didn't pull the trigger and nothing was is fault.
Baldwin was handed the loaded gun and was told it was not loaded. He didn't check to ensure this and failed to follow the simple rule that is taught by the NRA, the military and anyone who knows anything about firearms: treat all firearms as if they are loaded.
Baldwin appeared on Fredo Cuomo's YouTube extravaganza, "The Chris Cuomo Project," where he claimed the gun that went off and killed Ms, Hutchins, a cinematographer for "Rust," happened when he was practicing a technique known as "fanning." And just like that, the violent gun went off and shot her and the guy standing behind her.
Baldwin, a self-described violent gun expert said, “If you pull the hammer back far enough … the hammer didn’t lock … it would fire the bullet without you pulling the trigger.”
It turned out the FBI experts disagreed. They concluded that with this gun, the trigger had to be pulled.
Baldwin said that a safety officer told him it was safe to do this since the weapon was “cold,” meaning that it was not loaded with bullets. For someone who knows as much about firearms as a blowfish knows about astronomy, that was good enough for him.
“Everyone on set knows what happened that day,” Baldwin insisted.

Yes. They know that he was holding a gun that he ASSumed wasn't loaded because he was told that, and he aimed it at Halyna Hutchins and the gun went off and killed her. This is what they know.
Alex Baldwin demonstrated the “fanning” technique that he says set off the gun on the set of “Rust” last October.
“Everyone who was there knows exactly what happened and exactly who is to blame.”

Everyone but him.
Baldwin’s latest cry from the heart comes just days after his lawyer scrambled to defuse the damning results of an FBI report that said the gun, a F.lli Pietta 45 Long Colt Revolver, could not have gone off without being deliberately fired.
“The FBI report is being misconstrued,” the lawyer, another self-proclaimed firearm expert said in a statement.
While Baldwin admitted that he was anxious to learn if the New Mexico DA will pursue criminal charges over the accident, he acknowledged that “the real tragedy” was Hutchins’ death and especially how it might ruin his career.
“I am not the victim here,” he said, as he played the victim.
The conversation took a bizarre turn when Baldwin tried to illustrate what he believes is the media’s skewed perception of his actions.
“If George Bush’s mother Barbara fell through the ice on a pond and I waded into the pond and saved her life, they’d say I groped her. They’d say I squeezed her breast while I was pulling her out of the pond,” Baldwin insisted.Cuomo and Baldwin bonded over their experience of media disparagement.YouTube/The Chris Cuomo Project

“It doesn’t matter what you do,” he lamented. “The ones that are out to get you are out to get you.”
"Yeah, breast-groping Barbara Bush's breast," Cuomo said wistfully. "Tell me about it."
