Rust Armorer Sues Ammunition Supplier Over Live Rounds, Shares New Details About Fatal Shooting

perezhilton.com:

Things are heating up in the legal department over the fatal shooting on the set of Rust… For months now, we’ve been reporting on the director of photography Halyna Hutchins‘ (pictured above left) tragic death after she was accidentally shot by Alec Baldwin with a prop gun while working on the Western film.

The biggest mystery to come out of this horrific situation is how the weapon ended up with live rounds in the first place. There has been plenty of finger-pointing throughout the investigation – especially towards the 63-year-old actor, head armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and first assistant director Dave Halls.

But as we previously reported, Gutierrez-Reed’s attorneys have suggested that the live rounds were placed on set by someone looking to “sabotage” the production.

However, to our knowledge, they have provided very little evidence backing that claim. Now it seems she is pointing fingers at one person in particular – Seth Kenney, the owner of PDQ Arm & Prop, who supplied the guns and ammo used on the production.
