Longtime Hollywood armorer Thell Reed said he's not concerned about the possibility that his 24-year-old daughter, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, could go to jail.
Sharpshooter and movie consultant Thell Reed said he's not concerned about the possibility that his 24-year-old daughter, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, could go to jail.
Gutierrez-Reed was in charge of all weapons on the set of the film "Rust." On Oct. 21, actor Alec Baldwin was holding an antique revolver during a dress rehearsal for "Rust" at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico, when the prop gun discharged a live round, killing the film's cinematographer, 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins, and injuring the director, 48-year-old Joel Souza, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office.
An investigation into the fatal incident is ongoing and no charges have been filed. Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza told ABC News that his office has "not ruled out anyone in this case." Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies has previously said "everything is on the table" and that any decision to bring charges could take weeks or months.
"The sheriff's department will get to the bottom of this. I'm not worried about that at all," Reed told ABC News' Kaylee Hartung in an exclusive interview airing Tuesday on "Good Morning America."
