Have you heard of that phrase, fanning the gun? So, if you pull the hammer back, and you don’t lock the hammer; if you pull the hammer back pretty far -- in old Western movies you’d see someone fan the hammer of the gun-- the hammer didn’t lock; you pulled it back to an extent where it would fire the bullet without you pulling the trigger, without you locking the hammer.»Baldwin said the principal safety officer on the set «declared that the gun was safe when he handed» him the gun.

Alec Baldwin‘s lawyer is speaking out against the recently-released FBI report about the tragic accidental shooting on the set of his film Rust that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. But the star’s attorney isn’t the only one reacting — and there continue to be two different perspectives on the events that led to the tragedy.

the tragic death of the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of ‘Rust,’ involving Alec Balwin, has officially been concluded. The report reveals that the firearm could not have been fired without the trigger being pulled, however this differs from the statement the actor gave after the incident took place.A ballistics analysis of the evidence was conducted, and a forensic report obtained by ABC News details that the firearm used “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger.”Baldwin had previously said that he had not pulled the trigger of the gun he was holding on the set of the film in New Mexico, declaring that he had “no idea” why a live round was in the firearm.

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.
