Baldwin claimed in her lawsuit against Chief Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, Assistant Director Dave Halls, Prop Master Sarah Zachry, and gun supplier Seth Kenney that they failed to protect the film set.

It said;

 

“This tragedy occurred as a result of live bullets being delivered to the set and loaded into the gun.”

“Gutierrez-Reed failed to carefully inspect the bullets or the gun, Halls failed to inspect the gun but declared it safe before handing it to Baldwin, and Zachry failed to disclose that Gutierrez-Reed had been acting recklessly off set and was a safety risk to those around her.”

 

 

 

Alec Baldwin went on to say that he “wishes to clear his name” and holds the crew members “accountable for their misconduct.”

 

According to the suit, he also blamed Kenney, the film’s gun supplier, for “haphazardly” storing all the bullets.
