Hours after Alec Baldwin shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust,” he 🅘whined in a phone call that he didn’t “want to be a public person” anymore and laughed with p﷽olice, f🌠ootage released Monday shows.
A few minutes later, detectives come into the room to discuss the fatal mishap ꧅that left Hutchins, a mꦰarried mother of one, dead and director Joel Souza injured. Before they start speaking, one of the detectives read Baldwin his rights.
Baldwin then proceeds to recount the shooting and said he was rehearsing a scene and was under the impression the gun was cold when sud﷽denly, it went off.
“I take the gun out slowly. I turn and cock the pistol. Bang! [Hutchins] hits the ground, she🦩 goes down. [Souza] goes down, screaming, he’s like ‘Jesus 𝓡Christ.’”

“It’s supposed to be a cold gun … Now this is a puzzle to me … this is making me very emotional.𓆉”
Baldw🦹in is still “not off the hook” from criminal charges, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza warned. Bodycam footage shows the moments police approached Baldwin after they arrived on set.
Hannah Gutierrez, the rookie armorer in charge of the gun Alec Baldwin used, was seen on new bodycam footaﷺge saying “I’m tꦉhe armorer — or at least I was."
