Alec Baldwin told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an interview that he did not pull the trigger on a prop gun he was holding on a New Mexico film set when it went off, killing a cinematographer.

“I didn’t pull the trigger,” Baldwin said. “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never.” It is Baldwin’s first sit-down interview since the October 21 shooting on the set of the western film, Rust.
