Rust Armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, has seemingly deleted all of her social media accounts following the tragic death of cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins.
As OK! previously reported the 42-year-old camerawoman was shot and killed in a tragic on-set accident on Thursday that also left director Joel Souza hospitalized, when Alec Baldwin was reportedly handed a a loaded weapon to use while shooting a scene of the gritty Western.
As allegations of the gun handler being "careless" on set continue to mount, the 24-year-old has reportedly deleted all of her public social media accounts including Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook on advice from her legal team.
Production sources have also recently revealed the young armorer showed concerning signs of inexperience on the set of her last movie, and terrified crew when she handed an unchecked gun to an 11-year-old actress, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, forcing other crewmembers to intervene.
“She was a bit careless with the guns, waving it around every now and again,” a source spilled to The Daily Beast. “There were a couple times she was loading the blanks and doing it in a fashion that we thought was unsafe.”
“She was reloading the gun on the ground, where there were pebbles and stuff,” they continued. “We didn’t see her check it, we didn’t know if something got in the barrel or not.”
This comes after OK! reported the "inexperienced and green" armorer admitted recently that she had been "nervous" and unsure if she was "ready" to take on the job professionally due to her limited experience.
The 24-year-old had just wrapped her first film, The Old Way, starring Nicolas Cage, which she described as a "really bada** way to start off a really long and cool career".
"It was also my first time being head armorer as well," Gutierrez-Reed spilled to the Voices Of The West podcast. "You know, I was really nervous about it at first, and I almost didn’t take the job because I wasn’t sure if I was ready, but, doing it, like, it went really smoothly."
As of now, the investigation is ongoing, and there are currently no updates on if any criminal charges will be filed.
