‘Rust’ armorer blames Alec Baldwin for shooting because he skipped a ‘cross draw’ training session in lawsuit against firm that she claims supplied live ammunition

The armorer for doomed western ‘Rust’ – where a cinematographer was shot dead by a live bullet in October – is laying part of the blame on gunman Alec Baldwin for failing to attend a training session.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed filed a lawsuit in a Bernalillo County, New Mexico court on Wednesday that claims Baldwin, 63, ignored a request to attend a ‘cross draw’ session about a week before the tragedy.

The rookie armorer also faulted assistant director David Halls for failing to follow set protocol when he allegedly handed Baldwin the weapon without first calling on her to inspect it, according to the lawsuit.
