Was the 'Rust' shooting an act of 'sabotage'?
... [+]ASSOCIATED PRESSJason Bowles, one of Reed’s lawyers, said Gutierrez-Reed loaded the gun with ammunition from a box of dummy bullets, which looked exactly like live bullets and had been largely left unattended.
The live round that killed Hutchins could have been put there by someone “that would want to sabotage the set, want to prove point, want to say that they’re disgruntled, they’re unhappy,” Bowles said, referencing reports that crew members on the staff said they were overworked and weren't treated fairly.
Gutierrez-Reed left the guns unattended for a two-hour span because she had multiple jobs on the production: in addition to serving as the armorer, the 24-year-old was also key prop assistant, lawyer Robert Gorence said. Gutierrez-Reed “did not” inspect the weapons directly before they were used by Baldwin, because the crew was working on a “tech prep,” an industry term for positioning camera angles, Gorence said, and not a rehearsal or a film shoot.
His client was not present on set when the shooting occured, “which is really significant,” Gorence said, “because if there was something involving firearms, she had to be there.”Gutierrez-Reed was one of three people who handled the weapon before Baldwin shot it. After she inspected it and spun the barrel, as was part of the gun safety protocol, Gutierrez-Reed handed it to assistant director Dave Halls, according to police affidavits and her attorneys.
