“RUST” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed on Wednesday sued Seth Kenney, the man whose company supplied ammunition to the production, claiming that he introduced live rounds on set. The lawsuit, filed in New Mexico federal court, accuses Kenney of distributing “boxes of ammunition purporting to contain dummy rounds, but which contained a mix of dummy and live ammunition.” “Hannah and the entire ‘Rust’ movie crew relied on the Defendants’ misrepresentation that they provided only dummy ammunition,” reads the complaint. “In so doing, Defendants created a dangerous condition on the movie set, unbeknownst to Hannah Gutierrez Reed, which caused a foreseeable risk of injury to numerous people.” Kenney, owner of PDQ Arm & Prop, has denied that the live rounds on the film’s set came from his company. He said in an interview with “Good Morning America” on Dec. 2 that his New Mexico-based company “supplied the guns, the blank ammunition and 50 dummy rounds” and that there was “something very unique about the live rounds that were found.” But the lawsuit details a conflicting version of events in which Gutierrez-Reed argues that she could have prevented the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on Oct. 21. According to the complaint, Gutierrez-Reed loaded the gun that killed Hutchins from a box labeled “dummy rounds” and gave it to assistant director Dave Halls. She then left the scene, which was shot inside of a church, to adhere to COVID-19 protocols. (SD-Agencies) |
