'Rust' Armorer Says She's Not Ready To Speak About Alec Baldwin's Accidental Shooting on Set
"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed said on Wednesday that she is not yet ready to speak about Alec Baldwin's accidental shooting in their movie set in New Mexico on October 21.
Gutierrez Reed made her comments during a Fox News interview, refusing to comment on the issue.
"It's only been two weeks, and I'm not ready to speak on it yet," Gutierrez Reed said, adding that her comments will "come" in an "irritated yet somber tone."
The "Rust" armorer then added that all communication regarding the case will be addressed by her lawyers.
"A this point in time, I'm just referring and directing everyone to my lawyers," the 24-year-old armorer underscored.
Despite sounding that she is not yet ready on commenting about the accidental shooting that killed "Rust's" director of photography, the armorer's lawyer highlighted that Gutierrez Reed will cooperate with "law enforcement on their investigation."
'Rust' Armorer's Lawyer Implies Sabotage on Alec Baldwin's Film Set
On Wednesday, Gutierrez Reed's lawyer, Jason Bowles, said in an interview that someone from the "Rust" movie set might have sabotaged the prop gun that accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, The Guardian reported.
According to Bowles, Gutierrez Reed pulled ammunition from a box that she believed contained dummy rounds that we're incapable of firing. The lawyer added that his client checked the gun before giving it to Halls, and she showed Halls each round which she believed were "six dummy rounds."
Bowles said that it could be possible that someone purposely placed bullets that looked similar to dummies into the box.
"We're afraid that could have been what happened here, that somebody intended to sabotage this set with a live round intentionally placed in a box of dummies," Bowles underscored.
Despite making his allegations, the lawyer highlighted that his words do not mean that anybody intended for the tragedy to happen. However, Bowles pointed out that they believe that there is "someone" who wanted to "cause a safety incident on the set."
The lawyer did not pinpoint names when talking about his theory, but he said that someone who wants to "prove" that they were disgruntled and unhappy might be the one who caused the scene.
It can be recalled that before the shooting, authorities from Santa Fe revealed that camera operators had quit their role on "Rust" to protest about the "long hours and objectionable working conditions."
