accidentally shoot dead cinematographer
on set of Rust

Pacing up and down and talking animatedly on her phone, rookie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was seen for the first time since a gun she loaded killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while being handled by Alec Baldwin. Gutierrez-Reed, 24, has fled Santa Fe and was found at her dilapidated Bullhead City, Arizona, home by DailyMail.com where she declined to speak about the fatal accident. Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show a worried-looking Gutierrez-Reed pacing outside her home and speaking on the phone before dashing back inside and refusing to answer the door.

Comments:

They are clearly setting up the narrative here to lay the blame on the armorer (who deserves much of it), and the director that handed Baldwin the gun. Baldwin is being isolated from blame, as expected. He is just as culpable in my opinion, for both not checking the gun himself, and for making decisions about going ahead after two prior incidents (as producer). I wouldn't have trusted this bimbo to hand me a ham sandwich - much less a gun.

FTA: Gutierrez-Reed is the daughter of legendary Hollywood armorer Thell Reed who trained her from a young age An adage —- it takes 3 generations to ruin a family business. In this instance, just 2.

Baldwin pulled the trigger, apparently without checking the gun, so he would be guilty of negligence.

If she had checked the gun as often as she took selfies, this may not have happened.

Someone handed Baldwin a loaded gun and he promptly pointed it a human and pulled the trigger. Period. He can attempt to now point his finger but his defense is pathetic. I would be surprised if anyone ends up pressing charges but the deceased woman’s husband is an attorney. Uh oh.

Agree with OP. Baldwin is being isolated from the incident but legally it won’t work. That being said, Hannah’s personal appearance, and if her house is truly dilapidated, indicates a slovenly, apathetic loser who has no business being an armorer, who must by nature and training be disciplined, precise, and dedicated. She appears to be none of those, and was hired on the cheap by an idiotic producer.

If, as reports indicate, crew members were taking the pistols out after hours and firing live ammo, this little girl should never be allowed to work as an armorer again. Baldwin is a killer, The other two are just accomplices.

Gun safety rules say always make sure a gun is not loaded. Never point a gun at another person. If you are going to shoot a gun make sure the safety is on until you intend to shoot. Etc etc etc. I think a huge wrongful death civil suit is on the way against Alec and his armorer.

Baldwin had the last clear chance to avoid this tragedy. Had he known the first thing about gun safety, as opposed to shooting his MOUTH off about firearms like a total buffoon, he would have never pointed the weapon at another human being and pulled the trigger. Had he been quasi-knowledgeable about handguns he would have known exactly HOW to check the chamber to see if the gun was loaded and with what kind of round. Apparently he is totally ignorant of everything that the average REAL person knows about handguns. The armorer was inexperienced and likely made a horrible mistake in loading the gun with real ammunition. As a reminder, blanks, yes, BLANKS have killed people before, but no BLANK that I know of has gone clear through someone and ended up wounding a second person. This had to have been a live round of real ammunition and my guess is that it was a full metal jacket bullet that one would typically shoot at a range. These rounds tend to penetrate and exit as opposed to hollow points that are designed to spread out and spend their energy in a wider path of damage. Just a hunch. Baldwin exercised no safety awareness whatsoever. This is on him.

"Armorer" Gutierrez-Reed highlights the penchant of demorats to pretend giving a title to the unworthy [but popular amongst the comrades] assumes they have now gained the competency. Like that creature who is the latest Admiral. In an earlier article, the little airhead said she was always fearful about the loading/unloading of a gun, something any young child in a gun family knows by heart.

Notice the side bar, FTA: "Gun that went off in Alec Baldwin's hands and claimed the life of Halyna Hutchins" The GUN fired itself while in Baldwin's hands? The GUN claimed the life? It is shockingly disrespectful to publish these absurdities. An innocent woman is dead. How about a little respect and not pretending an inanimate object is responsible for both the action and then killing itself?

The armorer loaded the weapon. The armorer handed the weapon to Baldwin. Baldwin fired the weapon. The weapon is a vintage colt. The vintage colt is a single action revolver. With a single action revolver, the load should have been a Cowboy load, five blanks loaded with the hammer on an empty chamber. For a vintage colt to be discharged, the hammer has to be pulled back, thus rotating the chamber to a chamber that has a round in it, then the trigger is pulled to hit the round in the chamber. For the armorer, was the load a Cowboy load? Did the armorer mark blank rounds different from non-blank rounds? Why did Baldwin use a loaded weapon to practice fast draws? Did Baldwin check the weapon before playing around with the gun as he supposedly he was practicing fast draws? Why did Baldwin need to discharge the weapon? The firearm was discharged by Baldwin. Baldwin is at fault for discharging the weapon. The armorer is also at fault for not loading the weapon properly. Both should suffer both criminal penalties as well as civil penalties.

Had she not been (1) a woman, and (2) the daughter of a well-respected armorer, she wouldn't have gotten near a movie set. Negligence and stupidity were the primary causes of this shooting, but diversity play a role as well. A man probably would have been fired quickly after the first accident.

While I am not fond of "defending" a pudgy gummi bear haired satanist, with fashion Fangs and likely antifa tendencies...She DID grow up completely surround by guns, IS a paid Armorer in a very tightly controlled market, by any definition IS an expert. Rule#1- even before the "Famous 5" is "You cannot Idiot proof ANYTHING, certainly not guns" Having been around guns since the day I was born, there are certain things I subconsciously take for 'granted' and am constantly surprised that other people just do not know. Some are merely "ignorant"-have never had any experience, some are lazy, sloppy, thus dangerous...some are just flat out idiots. "A good Scare is better than the best Advice" certainly is an aspect of firearms safety, my father triggering a shotgun round into the living room ceiling as a child, is a story that kept me from ever doing the same... some pellets into my back by another "Yute" when I was about 10yo, locked in a lesson for two large families and solidified RIGOROUS rules for hunting behavior for three generations so far(Stay in line, don't fall behind, or let anyone fall behind you, NO shooting at rabbits, no shooting at birds unless you see a patch of sky under them,no shots to the left or right, only in front when you are certain that no one is ahead of you). Some people have never had a Scare, of any kind...or any lessons from a "Scary Man" like a father, Uncle, or Sargent. Her "less than stereotypical Expert", age, gender, dress and demeanor may have kept the egotistical Know it all about everything "Professionals" around her from taking the things she tried to impart more seriously. We will have to wait and see WHO put the live rounds into the thing, and when...how SHE did not know about it(unless she did which doesn't make sense), How she did not check the weapon. How the A.D. did not know about it, did not check the weapon...but NONE of that absolves Baldwin of cocking and firing it AT people, nor absolves the victim and director of allowing him to practice doing so. If I see the open end of a barrel, I'm kicking someones ASS, and/or taking the gun from them....and removing myself from that position IMMEDIATELY.

The question that I haven't seen posed is this: Why was there even any live ammo anywhere near the set? And why weren't the firearms secured in the after hours when filming was not occurring instead of being taken out and fired by the film crew using live ammo? I don't know how much insurance coverage a movie production typically carries, but somewhere the tort whore lawyers are salivating.

The Article includes: "According to a police warrant, the Colt was one of three pistols left on a table by Gutierrez-Reed and was handed to Baldwin by British assistant director Dave Halls who told the veteran actor it was 'cold'- not realizing it had been loaded with live rounds." It seems probable the so-caller "Armorer" was not present during the incident. Halls should have inspected the Colt to insure it was safe ("Cold") before he handed it to Baldwin. Baldwin should have immediately inspected the Colt to see whether it was in facy cold (assuming Baldwin knew how). If either inspection had been correctly made the unintended firing would not have occurred.

I understand this was her first gig as armorer. I'll bet it's her last. This was a low budget film, and apparently the producers went with non union camera people and an inexperienced armorer to cut costs. Some accounts indicate the gun was being used for target practice by some of those non union people when no filming was taking place. So a real bullet was left in the chamber and given to Baldwin.

Lots of blame to go around (IMO). Whomever appointed her as armorer chose the wrong person for the job. She was not competent to handle the responsibility. Baldwin should have double-checked her pronouncement of the gun being 'cold'. And of course Baldwin should not have pointed the gun and pulled the trigger.

#32...it was her second film as "Head" armorer, her first was "The Old Way" starring Nick Cage, recently completed...coming soon to a theater near you.(His very 1st western, finished it and is filming yet another at the same location) She had also worked as asst. armorer on several films, was on "Yellowstone" back in the spring. The whole situation seems a cluster-Fk...this scene was supposed to be filmed 1st thing in the morning(8:30am),everything was prepped and ready, camera crew walked out...new crew tracked down/brought in, only ONE camera even being manned, Crew/cast sent to Lunch at 12;30, came back and had to move the camera because light had changed, she...the guns, the cart they were on, were sitting outside,"Covid rules". Apparently had been left there since the morning. Unattended? who knows...

Did she actually load the weapon or was it handed to her? From what I read somewhere she wasn't really qualified for the props position. Is this a way to get Alec off the hook. He has been around show business a long time and should know enough to not point a gun at anyone.

A new requirement for truck drivers coming from Canada to be vaccinated against COVID-19 could add to supply chain challenges for everything from cars to fruit. The Canadian Trucking Alliance said it could effect more than 12,000 drivers who cross the border daily. "Based on surveys done by the Alliance, and national vaccination averages, CTA believes this will result in a 10-15% exit rate of the 120,000 truck drivers currently crossing the border," the group said. The organization said it is working with its counterparts in the U.S. before the vaccination mandate goes into effect.

The Western alliance’s statement summed up moves already announced by member countries, but restating them under the NATO banner appeared aimed at showing its resolve.

The CDC has officially moved the goalposts on what it means to be vaccinated from COVID-19.

CDC Dir. Rochelle Walensky appeared on CBS News and shared the news that the two-dose regiment will no longer suffice to be considered “fully vaccinated.” Instead, you will need a booster jab in order to be classified as “up to date.” That comes as part of a “pivot” in language by the government, one that many were maligned for predicting.

I’m not sure what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) thought he was going to get by pushing a vote on the Democratic effort to federalize elections (which they call ‘voting rights’) and on the filibuster. Schumer knew that he was likely to get a “no” on the filibuster from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ). They’ve only been holding fast on the subject for months. Both also were very firm on the subject in speeches — Sinema earlier in the week and Manchin earlier on Wednesday. It wasn’t happening, they said. But Schumer decided to commit electoral suicide anyway, and he got it tonight.

The overwhelming majority of Senate Democrats will soon move to eliminate the filibuster -- which has protected the rights of the chamber’s minority for more than a century – because they feel the need to pass ‘voting rights legislation’ is just too intense to be blocked by the 60-vote threshold. By merging several pieces of legislation into one mega-bill and calling it the ‘Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act,’ Democrats are trying to scare people into believing that if the bill doesn’t pass, they will lose their right to vote.

Mr. Biden said he spoke with Mr. Macron’s staff when he tried to reach the French president Sunday night and he’ll try again Monday. “I feel good about the French election,” Mr. Biden told reporters after returning to Washington from a weekend trip in Delaware. “I tried to talk to him last night. I spoke to his staff and he was at the Eiffel Tower having a good time. And I’m going to be talking to him today.”(Snip)It is not the first time foreign leaders

A Democratic congressional candidate in Washington State is arguing for a $30 per hour minimum wage, claiming that the $15 minimum wage movement is an outdated number. Rebecca Parson, a candidate for Washington’s 6th District that includes Tacoma, shared the comment recently in a post on Twitter. “$15 minimum wage is an antiquated demand. It should be $30 per hour,” she tweeted. [Tweet] “1 adult supporting 1 kid needs $30 an hour across the country. Rural, urban, suburban: $30 is the floor. As you say your nightly prayers to Saint Elon while you fall asleep tonight, reflect on why you punch down on poor people

Over the last 16 tortuous months of the Biden presidency, it’s become clear that the Democrats are running on empty.They are not even trying to reset their electorally poisonous policies.Politically this means they are heading for annihilation at the midterms. Yet they appear curiously relaxed, as if winning elections is no longer a priority. One thing you know is that the Dems are not hiding under the duvet sucking their thumbs. Like the Fantastic Mr. Fox, they have a cunning plan.They might not be any good at governing, but when it comes to seizing power by foul means or fair, they are world-class.

Last Tuesday, RedState reported on two desperate filings put forth by Hillary for America and Fusion GPS. They attempted to assert attorney-client privilege over materials that John Durham’s prosecution of Michael Sussmann is seeking to get its hands on. That left the obvious question open, though. How could Sussmann both simultaneously assert that he was acting on his own accord and not being paid by the Hillary campaign while at the same time having Hillary for America and Fusion GPS assert attorney-client privilege over their communications?

Swapping animal products for future foods such as insect protein or cultured milk could reduce global warming, water and land use by over 80 per cent, a new study suggests. Researchers used computer modelling to find the optimal diet combination to meet nutritional needs, while also minimising global warming potential, water and land use. They found that if people in Europe replaced meat and dairy with foods produced through new technologies, such as making fake steak out of bovine cells, it could significantly reduce all environmental impacts. Not only that, but it would be nutritionally adequate and meet the constraints for what can be feasibly consumed, according to experts

Following reports that Elon Musk may be nearing a deal with the Twitter board to buy the company, leftist “verified” accounts on the platform once again went into meltdown mode at the prospect of the Musk, the self-described free speech absolutist, taking over.“Leaving Twitter” began to trend shortly after the reports of Musk-Twitter talks. Observers quickly noted the similarity in sentiment to loud declarations from prominent leftists that they would move to Canada if Donald Trump won the election in 2016 (few, if any, did). Charles Blow, a New York Times columnist who describes Trump supporters as “angry white men,” said he would “say goodbye” to the platform

Russia's top diplomat has warned that NATO is now fighting a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and there is a 'very serious' risk the conflict could turn nuclear. Sergei Lavrov, speaking on Russian state TV last night, accused western leaders of risking a third world war by supplying heavy weapons to Ukraine with the goal of 'wearing down the Russian army'—an aim he described as an 'illusion'. Accusing NATO and its allies of attempting to bully Russia on the international stage, Lavrov said that tensions between east and west are now worse than during the Cuban missile crisis at the height of the Cold War.

Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter already has produced at least one liberal casualty. Shaun King apparently quit the platform after having claimed earlier in the day that Mr. Musk wanted to buy the platform to advance “white power.” “At its root, @ElonMusk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about left vs right. It’s about white power. The man was raised in Apartheid by a white nationalist. He’s upset that Twitter won’t allow white nationalists to target/harass people. That’s his definition of free speech,” King tweeted just after 9 a.m. Monday, as rumors were circulating of the imminent purchase. In another tweet, the Black Lives Matter activist noted that Mr. Musk
