Halyna Hutchins in October 2021 on the set of Alec Baldwin's film couldn't have been fired without someone first pulling the trigger.In the forensic report, obtained by ABC News, the federal law agency said its accidental discharge testing determined the gun used in the shooting — a .45 colt caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver — couldn't have gone off without the trigger being pulled.The report stated that, even with the hammer in the quarter-and half-cock positions, the gun «could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger.» And, with the hammer fully cocked, the gun «could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional.» Furthermore, with the hammer de-cocked on a loaded chamber, the gun was able to detonate a primer «without a pull of the trigger when the hammer was struck directly,» which the report stated as normal for this type of revolver.On Monday, Baldwin's attorney, Luke Nikas, addressed the forensic report's findings in a statement to ET. «The critical report is the one from the medical examiner, who concluded that this was a tragic accident. This is the third time the New Mexico authorities have found that Alec Baldwin had no authority or knowledge of the allegedly unsafe conditions on the set, that he was told by the person in charge of safety on the set that the gun was 'cold,' and believed the gun was safe,» Nikas said.
