In footage aired by TMZ, Baldwin and his wife Hilaria spoke to reporters who intercepted them in Manchester, Vermont. The Hollywood star declined to comment on the investigation of the shooting on the set of the 19th-century Western "Rust" on October 21.
Baldwin has previously tweeted to express his grief over the tragedy, and said he is cooperating with police investigating the killing.
"She was my family," he told the reporters in the footage.
"There are incidental accidents on film sets from time to time, but nothing like this. This is a one in a trillion episode."
Calls have grown since the incident for better control of weapons on Hollywood sets, and Baldwin said the effort was "something I am extremely interested in."
But he could not say whether he would ever work with firearms on a set again.
