After upbraiding paparazzi who have followed him simply because a gun he fired killed someone on the set of his new movie, actor Alec Baldwin said little about the incident during a rare public outburst on Saturday.
Baldwin has been trailed in Vermont by hordes of photographers since he was spotted there last week.
On Saturday, he finally offered his first public comments since the incident in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, was killed after a projectile from a gun Baldwin fired struck and killed her, according to WABC-TV.
“I’m not allowed to make any comments because it’s an ongoing investigation,” Baldwin said outside his Manchester, Vermont, home. “I’ve been ordered by the sheriff’s department in Santa Fe. I can’t answer any questions about the investigation. I can’t.”
Baldwin did not indicate if he has any further information than what has been released by New Mexico authorities.
“We are eagerly awaiting the sheriff’s department telling us what their investigation has yielded,” Baldwin said.
Baldwin called Hutchins “my friend.”
“The day I arrived in Santa Fe to start Shooting I took her to dinner with Joel, the director,” he said, referring to director Joel Souza, who was wounded in the incident.
At one point in the impromptu media scrum, Baldwin’s wife Hilaria tried to interrupt.
