Alec Baldwin Blamed for Halyna Hutchins' Death on 'Rust' Set by Furious Husband

Matthew Hutchins, the husband of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, said he was "angry" about how Alec Baldwin spoke about his wife's death.

Matthew made his comments during an interview with the "TODAY" show that will be aired in full on Thursday. In the preview of the interview, Matthew blamed his wife's death on Baldwin and industry standards that "were not practiced" on set.

He said he was angry at the actor's failure to take responsibility for his wife's death, The Daily Mail reported. He noted that watching Baldwin talking about the death of his wife for 16 years in his recent ABC News interview made him furious.

"I was just so angry to see him talk about her [Halyna Hutchins] death so publicly in such a detailed way and then to not accept any responsibility after having just described killing her," Matthew noted.

In the December 3 interview, Baldwin told ABC News he never pulled the trigger on the prop gun that killed Halyna. The actor said he was following Halyna's instructions to point the gun at her without knowing there was live ammunition in the gun.

Baldwin noted that he had been told the gun was "cold," or it contained no live ammunition, as he pointed the gun at the cinematographer as directed as she prepared to film a scene.

Baldwin said he then cocked the gun, let go of the hammer, and that's when the firearm went off. The actor further noted that "someone is responsible for what happened, and I can't say who that is, but it's not me."

Matthew said Baldwin made it sound like he was the victim and even blamed Halyna in the interview and then shifted responsibility to others before he cried about it.

Matthew, a Harvard-educated lawyer, noted that it was absurd that the person holding the gun and causing it to discharge was not responsible for her wife's death.

The cinematographer's husband added that gun safety was not the only problem on the "Rust" set. He said a number of industry standards were not practiced, and there were multiple responsible parties.

'Rust' Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' Family Files Lawsuit Against Alec Baldwin

Matthew Hutchins' comments came days after his family sued Alec Baldwin and other "Rust" crew members for wrongful death. The lawsuit was filed in Santa Fe County in New Mexico, where the fatal "Rust" shooting happened last October.

Lawyers for Hutchins' family earlier said Alec Baldwin and the movie producers' "reckless conduct and cost-cutting measures" led to Halyna Hutchins' death.

The lawsuit noted that the actor had a duty to learn gun safety rules, self-check the specific revolver, never point the gun at a person, and keep his finger away from the trigger until he's ready to shoot.

According to the lawsuit, part of the cost-cutting was hiring the new armorer in the film industry, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, also named a defendant.

The lawsuit said Gutierrez-Reed, whose job involved managing all the firearms and ensuring they were safely handled, had a duty to prevent live ammunition from infiltrating the "Rust" production and provide a reasonably safe production set environment.

Aside from announcing the lawsuit, the lawyers for Hutchins' family also showed a nearly 10-minute animated video that showed the moment Baldwin accidentally shot Hutchins on the "Rust" set.

"I think it's clear what happened. He had the gun, he says he pulled the hammer back, it fired, and she was killed... We don't think this was caused by any defect in the weapon," lawyer Brian Panish said.

The Hutchins' family lawsuit is one of four legal claims filed against Alec Baldwin and "Rust" producers.

The Death of Halyna Hutchins During 'Rust' Shooting

Halyna Hutchins died on October 21 after Alec Baldwin discharged a prop gun on the set of the Western feature film in New Mexico.

Police said deputies were dispatched to the film set at Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe after receiving an emergency call about the accidental shooting on the set.

Halyna was transported via helicopter to the University of New Mexico Hospital, where she died from her injuries. Aside from Halyna, "Rust" director Joel Souza was also injured and hospitalized but survived. Investigators are still investigating the incident.

No one has been arrested or charged as the investigation continues on how the tragic shooting occurred.
