Santa Fe Sheriff Has a Few Things to Say About Alec Baldwin's Claim He Didn't Pull Trigger

[Admin Dee]

As we reported yesterday, Alec Baldwin claimed he did not pull the trigger in the shooting on the set of “Rust,” which resulted in the killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the wounding of director Joel Souza.

Baldwin did an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that’s supposed to broadcast in full Thursday night. But in a clip that was released yesterday, he said, “The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger.” He then continued, “No, no, no, no, I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger. Never.”

But yet, he obviously did point the weapon at someone — or they would not have been shot.

Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza, who is heading up the investigation on the case, pooh-poohed Baldwin’s claim about not pulling the trigger on the gun.

“Guns don’t just go off,” Sheriff Adan Mendoza told Fox News Digital. “So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that and it was in his hands.”

The Sheriff’s department said the FBI was looking into the actions necessary to how the gun could have fired — including whether it could have fired without pulling the trigger.
