The armorer on the set of "Rust" offered a chilling theory through her attorneys about what led to the accidental shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.
Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed was one of four people who handled the weapon prior to Alec Baldwin firing it while rehearsing a scene for the indie-western. As a result, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said that the investigation is largely focused on her as well as how a live round made its way to the set of the film at all.
Speaking on the "Today" show Wednesday Jason Bowles and Robert Gorence claim that the bullets their client loaded into the gun on the day of the shooting were taken from a box that was only supposed to contain dummy rounds that were incapable of firing. However, because the ammunition was left unattended from roughly 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. that day, they believe the opportunity was there for a disgruntled crew member to mix a live round into the box.
"We don’t know, however, whether that live round came from that box," Bowlees said. "We’re assuming it did. We’re assuming somebody put that live round in that box, which, if you think about that, the person who put the live round in the box of dummy rounds had to have the purpose of sabotaging the set. There’s no other reason you would do that. That you would mix that live round with the dummy rounds."

Not the first time this theory was floated.
Russians?
I was actually posting about this possible “Murder she wrote” angle back when it first happened. People who had responsibilities or possible malfeasance are going to be floating theories to blame other people. This will turn into a big finger fest since no one wants to be sitting in the chair when the music stops.
Speculation is not evidence.
But yes, unions are involved, so sabotage is a real possibility.
Whoa!!!! That's a MAJOR FUBAR!!!
Listen all y'all it's a sabotage!
They are often made to appear differently at other angles.
I have made many dummy rounds. The ones I made never had primers inserted in the rear of the case.
You could always tell they were dummies by looking at the back of the case.
Other dummies have indented sides, different case coloration, or even the word "dummy" printed on the side of the case.
“This will turn into a big finger fest since no one wants to be sitting in the chair when the music stops.”
This has turned into a big finger fest since no one wants to be sitting in the chair when the music stops.
Yea, that’s it, because no one can tell the difference between a blank round and a live one...

If the armored had done her job, and been there , or had the weapon locked up if she was gone, there would have been no possibility of sabotage.
Baldwin and the assistant director are guilty of at least manslaughter.. The armorers is guilty of criminal negligence.
Sabotage = stupidity = carelessness = negligence....Its all the same.
Oh, Good Lord! Baldwin is INNOCENT, and we've all been so mean to him.

Or this is another example of how the Marxist always comes for the Useful Idiots when they are No Longer Useful.
it was not an accident, but premeditated murder
to take out a reporter, and send a message to her
husband .. to shut up.

Most commonly drilled holes
Reported that four of five rounds in gun had holes>
Dummy rounds are not the same as blanks.
“Yea, that’s it, because no one can tell the difference between a blank round and a live one...”
No blanks used here.
It would be much more accurate to say she was one of AT LEAST four people who handled the weapon.
