‘Rust’ Film Armorer Says Someone May Have Put Bullet in Gun
Breitbart ^ | 11/4/21 | BREITBART NEWS

(AP) — The woman in charge of weapons on the movie set where actor Alec Baldwin fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins said Wednesday night that she had inspected the gun Baldwin shot but doesn’t know how a live bullet ended up inside.

“Who put those in there and why is the central question,” Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer for the movie “Rust” said in a statement issued by one of her lawyers, Jason Bowles of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

“Hannah kept guns locked up, including throughout lunch on the day in question (Oct. 21), and she instructed her department to watch the cart containing the guns when she was pulled away for her other duties or on a lunch break.”

The statement goes on to say that “Hannah did everything in her power to ensure a safe set. She inspected the rounds that she loaded into the firearms that day. She always inspected the rounds.”

The statement adds that she inspected the rounds before handing the firearm to assistant director David Halls “by spinning the cylinder and showing him all of the rounds and then handing him the firearm.”

“No one could have anticipated or thought that someone would introduce live rounds into this set,” Gutierrez Reed’s statement said.

The statement also noted that “she did firearms training for the actors as well as Mr. Baldwin, she fought for more training days and she regularly emphasized to never point a firearm at a person.”

On Oct. 29, attorneys for Hannah Gutierrez-Reed said she doesn’t know where the live rounds found there came from and blamed producers for unsafe working conditions.

So much spin and blame-gaming going on here, it’s embarrassing.

Baldwin is hated and the union walked out. Wonder if he was hated enough to be set-up and, being stupid, he fell into it.

and she instructed her department to watch the cart containing the guns when she was pulled away for her other duties or on a lunch break.

It was my understanding that this on this low-budget set, she was the entire department.

Her other duties were that of assistant propmaster. So was she responsible for the safe storage and preparation of firearms, and making sure the right lamp was on a table?

Let's see what prints they find on the Cartridges.

Columbo would be on hold...and he wouldn't tell anyone what he did find. Not yet anyways...He does things piece by piece...which equates to..."One more thing".

By now, I expect every single bullet found on the set and the cart that held the guns have been gone over with a fine tooth comb for prints, DNA etc etc.

I believe this is solvable....and I also believe that the gun was positioned to fire the deadly bullet which makes me question...."Why didn't Baldwin examine the gun."

We don't knwo the number of times that Baldwin has handled THAT gun during this filming....practice or whatever. Since he co-wrote the movie, he might have even had a hand in choosing what he wanted to use. He is not gun ignorant. His father was a Marine and taught riflery.

He IS stupid. He seems to have zero self-control or introspection and shows all the "Cluster B" personality disorders - narcissism, grandiosity, histrionic personality disorder. His personal history over the last 25 years is one of regular punch-ups in public, run-ins with police, public family disputes.

If anyone is easy to set-up, it would be Baldwin.

Baldwin is one of the producers

All of this is mute had Alec obeyed the first rule of gun safety

We weren’t allowed to play with squirt guns because it violated that rule. It’s why we used water balloons

Ah....She said she showed Halls the chambers by spinning the cylinder. And yet the one live bullet wound up in the chamber that would fire the deadly shot.

Halls said he couldn't remember if she spun the cylinder....and said he only saw 3 or 4 cartridges and never checked them all and that he should have. His statements make no sense.

Did investigators secure the evidence and test for finger prints and DNA?
