The scene involved Alec Baldwin handling a gun, which was provided by Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed. Baldwin fired the gun, which he claims should not have been loaded, and killed Hutchins.
Now, Gutierrez-Reed's lawyer, Jason Bowles, is speaking out. He says his client was 'stretched too thin' on set and was not given a heads-up before Baldwin was handed the weapon. Bowles claims that Gutierrez-Reed had requested more time to focus on her armorer duties but was denied.

The claims made by Bowles have caused a stir among commentators, who have argued that Gutierrez-Reed had a responsibility to ensure that a gun was safe to use on set. They have argued that it is the responsibility of the armorer to check that a weapon is safe before it is used and that Gutierrez-Reed should have been more diligent in her duties.
