The tragic accident on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie, 'Rust' resulting in the death of Halyna Hutchins has certainly had its share of media attention.
Now, Gutierrez-Reed's lawyer, Jason Bowles, is speaking out. He says his client was 'stretched too thin' on set and was not given a heads-up before Baldwin was handed the weapon. Bowles claims that Gutierrez-Reed had requested more time to focus on her armorer duties but was denied.
The claims made by Bowles have caused a stir among commentators, who have argued that Gutierrez-Reed had a responsibility to ensure that a gun was safe to use on set. They have argued that it is the responsibility of the armorer to check that a weapon is safe before it is used and that Gutierrez-Reed should have been more diligent in her duties.
Despite the intricacies of this case, is clear that the death of Halyna Hutchins was a heartbreaking tragedy.
