Baldwin gave his first sit-down interview since the shooting to ABC's George Stephanopoulos last week where he claimed he never pulled the trigger — he just cocked it and "let go of the hammer" when it fired.

Elsewhere in the interview, the actor said he had dreams "constantly" about the day of the shooting, especially with images of guns that "keep me awake at night."
"I've been struggling physically. I'm exhausted from this because I gotta try to be there for my kids. My family is all I have. Honest to God, I couldn't give a s--- about my career anymore," said Baldwin.
"You felt shock, you felt anger, you felt sadness. Do you feel guilt?" Stephanopoulos later asked.

Baldwin replied, "No. Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can't say who that is, but I know it's not me. I mean, honest to God, if I felt that I was responsible, I might have killed myself if I thought I was responsible. I don't say that lightly."
