Alec Baldwin says he doesn't believe he or anyone else will face criminal charges in the fatal shooting last year on the Rust movie set - a tragic episode he says 'has taken years off' his life and has cost him professionally. 9News

Alec Baldwin says he doesn't believe he or anyone else will face criminal charges in the fatal shooting last year on themovie set - a tragic episode he says "has taken years off" his life and has cost him professionally.

In his interview with CNN, Baldwin placed responsibility for the tragedy on Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who served as the armourer and props assistant on the film, and assistant director Dave Halls, who handed him the gun. Through their respective attorneys, both Gutierrez Reed and Halls accused Baldwin of deflecting blame onto others."That was [Gutierrez Reed's] job.

In January, Gutierrez Reed sued the movie's gun and ammunition supplier, accusing PDQ Arm and Prop, LLC and its founder Seth Kenney of violation of trade practices, false and deceptive product labels, and false and material misrepresentations. In the suit, Gutierrez Reed alleges Kenney sold her a cache of dummy ammunition with live rounds mixed in.

The report noted the gun eventually malfunctioned during FBI testing after internal parts fractured, which caused the gun to go off in the cocked position without pulling the trigger."When Alec Baldwin showed up that tragic day for filming, he had not a single reason in the world to think that there was a live bullet in that gun, in that church, or even on that property," Nikas told CNN in a subsequent interview on Thursday.
