They got to pin it on someone and she is as good as anyone. Can't let Alec go down for it, he was the victim here.Quote:

Gutierrez-Reed’s alleged misstep happened on the set of the upcoming Nicholas Cage film, “The Old Way” and temporarily halted filming, sources told The Daily Beast.
‘Rust’ armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed once gave unchecked gun to 11-year-old actor: report
If a live round actually made it on set, and didn't get noticed during all the safety checks, I'm kind of having trouble seeing how that couldn't have been intentional on someone's part. The fact that people were upset with their bosses and going on strike just makes that scenario even more likely. Sabotage by a disgruntled worker. Wouldn't take a sculptor to file a real bullet into the same rough shape as a blank cartridge, and nobody on the set would be looking for something like that. It's almost the perfect crime.Quote:

Crew was mad that they had been lied to about housing then walked off set and got replaced by non union folks. The armorer has stated previously that she wasn't sure if she was ready for the job and got nervous about loading blanks into guns. She should have never been allowed to be in charge and should have had someone watching her and making sure things like this didn't happen.

Man, the negligence just gets deeper and deeper. Off camera the gun was allegedly being used for target practice and live ammo and blanks were being stored in the same area. Live ammo isn't even supposed to be present on the set.
Gun That Killed DP ...ALLEGEDLY USED FOR OFF-SET TARGET PRACTICE
The good news is Baldwin is the Producer of this dumpster fire. And if you check the wiki page for the film you will find this boast.Quote:

What a totally self absorbed, easy to despise, asswipe.Quote:

He will be called a "Victim" and interviewed on The View any minute now, so he can go on TV and call guns bad.
