The crew member, armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, has “no idea” how live bullets became present on the set near Santa Fe in New Mexico where the desert western Rust was being filmed.
But the New Mexico set of Rust had inexperienced crew members, apparent safety lapses and a serious labor dispute.
Ultimately this set would never have been compromised if live ammo were not introduced.
Hannah has no idea where the live rounds came from,” the statement from her attorneys Jason Bowles and Robert Gorence said, as first reported by NBC.
