And, yes, we're looking at that possibility."Īsked specifically if he thought a crew member could be a suspect, Bowles replied, “You can’t rule anybody out at this point.”Īttorneys for Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reid appeared on Wednesday's morning news shows to discuss the shooting of Halyna Hutchins.
We have a time frame between 11 and 1, approximately, that day, in which the firearms at times were unattended, so there was opportunity to tamper with this scene. We have people who had left the set who had walked out because they were disgruntled. “We know there was a live round in a box of dummy rounds that shouldn’t have been there," Bowles said. He was referring to the six members of the camera crew who walked out the morning of the shooting on the Bonanza Creek Ranch set. "And we know that people had walked off the set the day before." “I believe that somebody who would do that would want to sabotage the set, want to prove a point, want to say that they’re disgruntled, they’re unhappy," Bowles said on Today. They say Gutierrez-Reid loaded the gun, fired by star Alec Baldwin, from a box of dummy rounds, so someone must have mixed live rounds with the dummies with ill intent. Jason Bowles and Robert Gorence, who represent the 24-year-old in the investigation, made this claim on the Today show and Good Morning America on Wednesday.
Attorneys for Hannah Gutierrez-Reid, the armorer on Rust, suggest "sabotage" as the reason behind a live bullet being in the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
