There was one other person involved. And he can be charged if he said it was clear. But if she had done her job as armorer this should not have occurred. Instead she said the weapon was safe.
How long does it take to replace a blank...and set it to be the next bullet out.
The young inexperienced, incompetent, careless, dangerous, girl that Baldwin hired wasn’t even in the building, she was a part of the circus Baldwin was running in relation to guns and carelessness with repeated accidental discharges and crew members complaining about gun dangers.
That pistol was being used for target practice, she had just been chastised for terrible gun care on the Nicholas Cage film.
“The “inexperienced” armorer in charge of weapons on set of Alec Baldwin’s movie “Rust” had given a gun to an 11-year-old actress without checking properly for safety, a report said.
Gutierrez-Reed’s alleged misstep happened on the set of the upcoming Nicholas Cage film, “The Old Way” and temporarily halted filming, sources told The Daily Beast.
“She was reloading the gun on the ground, where there were pebbles and stuff,” one source told the outlet. “We didn’t see her check it, we didn’t know if something got in the barrel or not.”
Gutierrez-Reed reportedly handed the gun to child actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong, forcing concerned crew members to intervene, the report said. The gun was then checked for barrel obstruction, according to the sources.
“She was a bit careless with the guns, waving it around every now and again,” a source said.
“There were a couple times she was loading the blanks and doing it in a fashion that we thought was unsafe.”
A “Rust” production source described Reed as “inexperienced and green,” to the outlet, adding that there had been two other incidents of accidental discharges by crew members.”
