Alec Baldwin had no choice but to come forward to talk about the tragic shooting on his movie's set.

Alec Baldwin is an actor, but, in this case he is also a businessman. He has no choice but to come to the public and put things in perspective. I don't think he talked about the replacement of Ms. Hutchins.

Alec Baldwin said (click here) he "didn't pull the trigger" on the prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the Rust set — and assistant director Dave Halls is backing him up.

On Thursday's Good Morning America, Halls's attorney, Lisa Torraco, said her client has maintained "since day one" that Baldwin's finger was "never in the trigger guard" when the gun fired on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set outside Santa Fe. Also, Seth Kenney, who had his PDQ Arm & Prop business in Albuquerque searched by authorities this week, spoke out for the first time.

"The entire time Baldwin had his finger outside the trigger guard — parallel to the barrel," Torraco said of Halls's account of the shooting in which director Joel Souza was also shot. "He told me since day one that he thought it was a misfire."

Torraco said until Baldwin said that he didn't pull the trigger, in a preview clip from his ABC News interview airing Thursday night, "it was really hard to believe. But Dave has told me from the very first day I met him that Alec did not pull that trigger."...
