The 24-year-old rookie armorer who loaded the gun that Alec Baldwin used which ended up killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is interviewing lawyers to defend her ahead of potential criminal charges.
Sources close to Hannah Gutierrez-Reed revealed to The Sun that the armorer is taking her family’s advice to lay low and find the right attorney.
Hannah, who is the daughter of famed armorer Thell Reed, is “not ready” to talk about the incident with friends. She is currently holed up at her home in Bullhead City, Arizona which is an 8-hour drive from the Sante Fe, New Mexico film set where the fatal shooting went down.
Investigators are still determining what exactly happened on the Rust film set but others are pointing the finger are Hannah along with assistant director Dave Halls.
Crew members claim Hannah loaded the gun that was used by Alec when he accidentally shot and killed Halyna and injured the director, Joel Souza.
