Attorneys for Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who was in charge of weapons on the movie set where Alec Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, say she doesn't know where the live rounds found there came from, and blamed producers for unsafe working conditions.
Gutierrez Reed was the armourer on the set of "Rust." The 24-year-old, who had worked on one previous feature film, hasn't spoken publicly about the accident.attorneys Jason Bowles and Robert Gorence in a statement
Investigators initially found 500 rounds of ammunition -- a mix of blanks, dummy rounds and what appeared to be live rounds. Industry experts have said live rounds should never be on set. Attorneys for Gutierrez Reed said she is "devastated and completely beside herself" over the death of Hutchins. They argued that producers on the film were cutting corners that sacrificed safety.
A spokesperson for the producers of "Rust" didn't immediately respond to emails Friday. They have previously said that they are cooperating with the police investigation. When the crew broke for lunch, the guns used for filming were locked in a safe inside the props storage truck, Gutierrez Reed said. The ammunition, however, was left unsecured on a cart. There was additional ammo inside the prop truck.
