'There was a bang' Alec Baldwin relives Halyna Hutchins' death in unseen police interview

Alec made reference to two others who'd been killed in similar circumstances on film sets - Jon-Erik Hexum and Brandon Lee - and questioned whether a piece of material lodged inside the gun could have been what led to injury.The footage from the investigation shows that Alec identified himself to law enforcement immediately when they arrived, stating: "I’m the person that had the gun in the scene."He later recalled: "I take the gun out slowly, I turn, I cock the pistol – bang – it goes off, she hits the ground, she goes down."Director Joel Souza was also injured after the bullet that killed his colleague ricocheted off him with a sickening bang.He told officers that the impact of the bullet was equivalent to being "kicked in the shoulder".After stumbling, he then witnessed blood seeping out around him."I was down on my a** and I look over and see the cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with blood coming out of her back," he reported."There was a bang that was louder than I ever heard come from a blank before."The sheriff's office also released video footage of paramedics at the scene desperately trying to revive Halyna, to no avail.However Sheriff Adan Mendoza said that FBI forensics on the firearm and bullet are yet to be released.There has also been no public release addressing Alec's phone records, despite earlier claims that police had been trying to obtain them.Rust Movie Productions has been fined £104,810 after investigators concluded in a report that the production company "knew firearm safety procedures were not being followed on set".The report stated that "plain indifference to employee safety" had been demonstrated too.The fine, which followed six months of intense investigation, is the highest amount possible.
