In the Alec Baldwin police interview transcript, the shocked actor gives a moment-by-moment recollection of his day on the Rust movie set, actions of the prop/armor department, and how the fatal shooting of director Halyna Hutchins occurred.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office has released the full video interrogation of actor Alec Baldwin, conducted minutes after the tragic shooting on set of the movie ‘Rust’. While filming a scene at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico that called for Baldwin’s character to aim a revolver in the direction of a camera, a live bullet was mysteriously placed into the prop gun, fatally striking cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza. Currently, an extensive investigation is underway to determine how real ammo was mixed with theatrical rounds, and who precisely loaded the gun that was handed to Baldwin.

The October 21, 2021 interview lasts one hour and thirteen minutes. Below is part one of the Alec Baldwin police interview transcript.
