Actor Alec Baldwin revealed that he has “no idea” how a live ammunition round got onto the “Rust” movie set before the fatal shooting last month that left a cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, dead.

During an interview with ABC News, Baldwin also claimed that he didn’t pull the gun’s trigger. The incident, which has not resulted in any criminal charges, is being investigated by authorities in Santa Fe County, New Mexico.
