Baldwin says he doesn’t feel guilty for ‘Rust’ shooting: Someone else ‘is responsible’

Alec Baldwin says he doesn’t feel guilty in the shooting death of a cinematographer on the set of his film, “Rust,” because someone else “is responsible.”
“I feel that someone is responsible for what happened, and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me,” the actor told George Stephanopoulos on Thursday in his first TV interview since the October shooting on the film’s New Mexico set.
Authorities say cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed and director Joel Souza was wounded when Baldwin fired a gun holding a “suspected live round” while the performer was working on a scene for the movie.
“If I felt that I was responsible, I might have killed myself,” Baldwin said.
.@GStephanopoulos: “Do you feel guilt?”
Alec Baldwin: “No. Someone is responsible for what happened and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me.”
