The armorer on the set of the film 'Rust' said she was not called to inspect the gun that ultimately fired a live round, fatally wounding cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed issued a statement Saturday in response to a legal filing a day earlier in which Alec Balwin said Hutchins told him to cock the gun.
"Mr. Baldwin knew that he could never point a firearm at crew members under any circumstances and had a duty of safety to his fellow crew members," Gutierrez Reed said.
"Yet he did point the gun at Halyna before the fatal incident against all rules and common sense."
Baldwin's version of the moments that led up to the fatal shooting last October in New Mexico included an arbitration demand filed by Baldwin's lawyer and obtained by CNN. In it, Baldwin claimed he asked Hutchins if he should cock the gun and that she told him to do it.
