‘Rust’ Prosecutor Alleges Armorer Brought Live Bullets on Set

'Rust' prosecutor Kari Morrissey offered a favorable plea if Hannah Gutierrez Reed would admit to bringing live bullets on set.

The prosecutor in the “ Rust ” case says there is “substantial” evidence that armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed unwittingly brought live bullets on the set, leading to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. In a court filing on Monday, prosecutor Kari Morrissey argued that several photos taken on set — including ones taken by Gutierrez Reed — show the live rounds in the days leading up to the shooting. Gutierrez Reed has denied bringing the live rounds on set, and has pinned the blame on Seth Kenney, her mentor, who provided guns and dummy ammunition to the production.
