The morning she died, her camera crew had gone on strike in part because of safety issues with weapons.
Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer tasked with overseeing the weapons on set, and her father, Thell Reed, a well-known armorer, told investigators the live rounds might have come from weapons expert Seth Kenney, who was not on set but provided some of the ammunition materials that were used for production. Gutierrez-Reed, who came under scrutiny for her limited experience, told investigators that she and Sarah Zachry, theprop master, had checked and loaded the guns earlier in the day before the shooting and did not thoroughly scan them again after the crew had broken for lunch. Gutierrez-Reed said she put what she believed were five dummy rounds into the long-barrel Colt .45, which Baldwin would eventually use to accidentally kill Hutchins and injure Souza.
