Former President Donald Trump said that actor Alec Baldwin might have purposely shot cinematographer Halyana Hutchins on the Rust movie set last month.
Trump said on Christ Stigall’s radio show on Thursday, “In my opinion, he had something to do with it, but if nothing else, how do you take a gun, whether it’s loaded or not loaded, how do you take a gun, point it at somebody that’s not even in the movie, and just point it at this person and pull the trigger, and now she’s dead.”
Baldwin was on the set of his upcoming western movie Rust, which was being filmed near Santa Fe, New Mexico, when he was handed a prop gun that the police said discharged and fatally shot Hutchins and injured writer-director Joel Souza.
