Baldwin and believe that Seth Kenney as primary ammunition supplier commingled live rounds with blank rounds in the ammunition provided to Rust,” Jason Bowles, attorney for Gutierrez Reed said in a statement to CNN.
Kenney’s attorneys filed an answer last month, denying any allegations and asking the court to dismiss the case. In the suit, Gutierrez Reed alleges Kenney sold her a cache of dummy ammunition with live rounds mixed in. and its founder Seth Kenney of violation of trade practices, false and deceptive product labels, and false and material misrepresentations. In January, Gutierrez Reed sued the movie’s gun and ammunition supplier, accusing PDQ Arm and Prop, LLC. Most of those consistent with live cartridges were not found on the set. An FBI report released last week showed investigators examined dozens of cartridges, including from the set and from a separate location in Albuquerque. “Why did he give me the gun? Why didn’t he check? Why did he tell the crew ?”īaldwin also wondered aloud whether Seth Kenney, the movie’s props supplier, accidentally provided live bullets to the “Rust” set. “Why didn’t check that bullet? Why didn’t Halls obey her?” Baldwin continued. Baldwin arrived.” Instead, the complaint says, Halls handed the revolver directly to Baldwin. The complaint goes on to say that the armorer left the church “expecting Mr. I don’t want that, but I want everybody to know that those are the two people that are responsible for what happened.”Īccording to an administrative complaint filed this month by the New Mexico environment department’s occupational health and safety bureau against the production company, Gutierrez Reed told Halls to alert her when Baldwin arrived, so she could perform a safety check on his firearm. “I’m not sitting there saying I want them to, you know, go to prison, or I want their lives to be hell. “There are two people who didn’t do what they were supposed to do,” he added. Her job was to look at the ammunition and put in the dummy round or the blank round, and there wasn’t supposed to be any live rounds on the set. “Someone put a live bullet in the gun who should have known better,” Baldwin said.
