‘Careless’ Rust armourer criticised over safety on previous film, before Alec Baldwin shooting incident
The Independent says the tragic accidental shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie “Rust” is not the first firearms-related incident for the production’s armourer.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 24, was hired to work as the armourer on the Alec Baldwin Western, Rust. During filming on Thursday, Mr Baldwin fired a gun loaded with live ammunition that killed Ms Hutchins and wounded the film’s director.
The Daily Beast reported on Saturday that Ms Gutierrez-Reed was also the armourer on another film set where a firearms mishap shut down production. During work on the upcoming Nicholas Cage film The Old Way, the woman allegedly gave a gun to an 11-year-old actor without properly inspecting it for safety.
