When asked whether the script called for him to pull the trigger, Baldwin replied the trigger wasn’t pulled.
Baldwin said, “Well the trigger wasn’t pulled, I did not pull the trigger…”
“I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them. Never,” he added.
Stephanopoulos asked why a real bullet was on set, the actor said: “I have no idea. Someone put a live bullet in a gun; a bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property.”
