Post Millennial - FBI concludes Alec Baldwin pulled trigger in Halyna Hutchins shooting

According to an FBI analysis, Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger of the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza on the New Mexico set of the movie Rust on October 21, 2021.
ABC news reports that the weapon Baldwin said he thought was a "cold gun," a .45 Colt (.45 Long Colt) caliber F.lli Pietta single-action revolver, "could not have been fired without pulling the trigger, according to an FBI forensic report."
The FBI report shows that the hammer had to have been fully cocked, not in a quarter or half cocked position, and that the gun "could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger while the working internal components were intact and functional."
In a December 2021 interview with George Stephanopolous, Alec Baldwin said he "didn't pull the trigger."
"Well, the trigger wasn't pulled," Baldwin said, "I didn't pull the trigger."
"So you never pulled the trigger?" Stephanopolous asked.
"No, no," Baldwin said. "I would never point a gun and pull that trigger at them. Never."
TMZ called the report a "bombshell" but did note that it hasn't been clarified if the FBI tested on the actual gun from the incident or another model of the same kind.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Crazy that we live in a world where the FBI is needed to prove the guy holding the gun pulled the trigger.

Damn, that FBI, they are on the ball, aren't they?

Have they raided his house yet?

Great...this YouTube guy proved that 8 months ago, literally days after the story.

Why is the FBI involved in this instead of the local sheriffs office?

If he had a Pieta replica of an old Colt cap and ball revolver, it’s extremely difficult to accidentally discharge it.
Each cylinder has to be correctly loaded with powder, ball, and wadding, and the back of each cylinder has to have a percussion cap on it. Then the hammer has to be cocked all the way back, and the trigger has to be pulled.
If the hammer isn’t fully cocked, the gun won’t fire, and the trigger releases the hammer.

Yeah, I’d like to know this as well

Wait...I thought the FBI said they did a test and it could have gone off w/o pulling the trigger?

Great job guys! You did it!

It's a real shame he didn't point it at his own head before it "accidentally discharged."

He blocked me on the twitter machine

You mean a single action revolver didn’t just go off? Shocking.
