Daniel was asked if he believed that his brother was being attacked for the fatal shooting to which he replied, “for sure”.

He also stated that they should consider Alec Baldwin’s political views and the many things he’s done for charities and his wife. 

Daniel, who pointed out that that he’s fired more rounds on movie sets than all of his brothers and added that he believes the wrongdoing falls on the movie’s armorer, who has been named Hannah Gutierrez Reed. The initial buck and all of the responsibility of the weapon should fall on the armorer, in his opinion.

He added that Dave Halls, the first assistant director, checked the gun before handing it over to Alec Baldwin. He should also be blamed for the incident.

Rules were not followed and Dave had apparently taken the weapon and announced out loud that the gun was safe and “cold”.

Alec’s brother added that the actor is “crushed” by the incident and Hutchins’ passing.
