Speaking about the tragedy on Today, Bowles says there should only have been dummy rounds on that set and that his client doesn’t know where the live round came from.
“We know there was a live round in a box of dummy rounds that shouldn’t have been there – at least one live round.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed served as the armorer for Rust, and her attorney, Jason Bowles, has suggested that a “disgruntled” crew member might have snuck a live round into the dummy rounds.
There’s no other reason that you would do that – that you would mix that live round in with a dummy round.”
