By 1.20, the scene up at the church was to be done.
Alec Baldwin was sitting in a pew.
They wanted to have the camera look down the barrel of the gun.
They were trying to set it up.
You could see the ends of the bullets, and that's why it was loaded with dum-dums.
You know, you need to be able to see that bullet.
I'm at the front door of the church, and I was probably four or five yards away from Alec and Helena.
Helena was telling Alec she wanted to see his thumb working the hammer back to do the shot.
She was probably only 18 inches, two feet away, maybe, from the muzzle of the gun.
She takes a monitor that is his monitor, the operator, and turns it toward her.
And she says to me, hold the gun lower.
I'm holding the gun where she told me to hold it, which ended up being aimed right below her armpit.
The cameras were not rolling, so there is no actual footage of this tragedy.
You just pulled the hammer as far back as I could without cocking the actual gun.
You're holding onto the hammer.
