“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed issued a statement to deny claims regarding the on-set shooting involving Alec Baldwin last week.

Her attorneys, New Mexico-based lawyers Jason Bowles and Robert Gorence, said that there were rushed conditions on the low-budget film’s set, disputing claims that crew members used live ammunition for target practice.
