Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin has filed a lawsuit against the ‘Rust’ movie crew members and the armourer for negligence following the death of Halyna Hutchins in a bid to clear her name.
Alec Baldwin filed a cross-complaint in Los Angeles’s superior court alleging negligence against armourer Hannah Guttierez-Reed, prop master Sarah Zachry.
Others joined in the suit filed by Alec Baldwin include; first assistant director and safety coordinator David Halls and ammunition supplier Seth Kenney and his company, PDQ Arm & Prop, all of which have previously denied responsibility for the fatal shooting.
In the lawsuit filed against Chief Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, Assistant Director Dave Halls, Prop Master Sarah Zachry and the gun supplier Seth Kenney, Baldwin alleged that they failed to safeguard the film set.
It read; “This tragedy happened because live bullets were delivered to the set and loaded into the gun.
“Gutierrez-Reed failed to check the bullets or the gun carefully, Halls failed to check the gun carefully and yet announced the gun was safe before handing it to Baldwin, and Zachry failed to disclose that Gutierrez-Reed had been acting recklessly off set and was a safety risk to those around her.”
