'Rust' Ammo Supplier Denies Providing Live Rounds in Fatal Cinematographer Shooting
An ammunition supplier testified that he only provided inert dummy rounds to the film "Rust," contradicting claims that live rounds were present on set. The trial of "Rust" movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, charged with involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, may hinge on the source of live rounds found on set. The defense argues Gutierrez-Reed is being unfairly scapegoated, while the prosecution blames her for bringing live ammunition on set. Additionally, the trial delved into evidence related to a tampering charge against Gutierrez-Reed, stemming from accusations that she handed a small bag of possible narcotics to another crew member after the shooting.
