"Rust" key medic Cheryln Schaefer has filed a lawsuit against the movie's producers as well as several crew members, claiming she can no longer work following her experience on the movie set.

Assistant Director Dave Halls, property master Sarah Zachry, armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed and firearm supplier Seth Kenney have all been named in the suit, alongside Rust Movie Productions, LLC, and the location that production was being filmed on, Bonanza Creek Ranch.

In the lawsuit, which was filed in Santa Fe County late last week, Schaefer alleges that "Gutierrez Reed loaded the revolver with the round containing the bullet that killed [cinematographer] Halyna Hutchins." Furthermore, the suit claims "Zachry assisted Hannah Gutierrez Reed in handling the revolver prior to the rehearsal." Aligning with other accounts of the incident, the lawsuit claims that Gutierrez Reed handed the loaded gun to Halls, who openly declared the weapon was "cold," meaning he believed it contained no ammunition.The assistant director then handed the gun to actor Alec Baldwin, per the suit.

Baldwin is not named as a defendant in this lawsuit. Producers and crew members for the movie ‘Rust’ are facing a new lawsuit from the production's key medic. (Reuters) The suit dove into Kenney's recent background, claiming that he and Gutierrez Reed's father Thell Reed has recently worked together on a film.The suit alleged that Thell provided Kenney with "reloaded rounds" or "live rounds that are created using empty casings." According to the docs, Thell requested that Kenney return the rounds, but that Kenney "retained possession" of the ammunition.
