Did Not Pull Gun's Trigger: Alec Baldwin On Film Set Shooting

In his first major interview since the tragedy in October, US actor Alec Baldwin said he has "no idea" how a live round had gotten onto the set of the film.

Alec Baldwin has said he did not pull the trigger of the gun he was holding that killed a cinematographer on the movie set of "Rust."

In his first major interview since the tragedy in October, the US actor also said he has "no idea" how a live round had gotten onto the set of the low-budget Western in New Mexico.

"The trigger wasn't pulled -- I didn't pull the trigger," he said in an excerpt of an interview with ABC News released on Wednesday.

"No, no, no. I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never."
