Armorer Hannah-Gutierrez Reed filed a lawsuit claiming prop and ammunition supplier Seth Kenny provided live rounds in boxes marked as blanks that were used on the ‘Rust’ set.
The armorer on the ill-fated movie “Rust” is suing a prop supplier, claiming it sold live and dummy ammunition together leading to the on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Alec Baldwin was told that the gun was “cold,” indicating that the weapon contained only dummy bullets, but a live bullet inside the weapon struck and killed Hutchins as she was setting up a closeup shot of the actor, the suit alleges. Director Joel Souza was also hurt by the bullet after it exited Hutchins’ body.Gutierrez-Reed said on the day of the shooting, she and two other prop assistants, handled the guns out of a safe.
Halls was supposed to alert the armorer if Baldwin or anyone else used the gun because she was required to re-inspect the firearm under rules of the set, the lawsuit alleges. About 15 minutes later, Gutierrez-Reed claims Halls gave the firearm to Baldwin and called out, “cold gun,” which signified the firearm was empty or contained blank rounds.
