The armorer responsible for weapons on the film set where Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer has "no idea" why there were live rounds present, her lawyers said Friday.
"Ultimately this set would never have been compromised if live ammo were not introduced," said the statement from representatives of Gutierrez-Reed. "Hannah has no idea where the live rounds came from." "Hannah and the prop master gained control over the guns and she never witnessed anyone shoot live rounds with these guns and nor would she permit that," the statement said.
Investigators in Santa Fe, where the movie was being filmed, said they had seized a cache of ammunition, some of which they believe was live.Sheriff Adan Mendoza told reporters there was "some complacency" on set, and crew members had complained about lax protocols in the lead-up to the accident, including two previous incidents in which guns were fired.
"She fought for training, days to maintain weapons, and proper time to prepare for gunfire but ultimately was overruled by production and her department.
