“Someone put a live bullet in a gun, a bullet that wasn’t even supposed to be on the property… I think back and I think of what could I have done?” Baldwin continues. “She was someone who was loved by everyone who worked with [her] and liked by everyone who worked with [her], and admired… I mean, even now I find it hard to believe that [she’s gone]. It doesn’t seem real to me.”
Movie director Halyna Hutchins was killed. The interview is his first since the deadly shooting.
