Meanwhile, ‘Rust’ armourer opened up on the matter and said, she has 'no idea' where the live rounds came from. “Safety is Hannah’s number on priority on set,” said attorneys Jason Bowles and Robert Gorence in a statement released for their client.
“Ultimately this set would never have been compromised if live ammo were not introduced. Hannah has no idea where thelive rounds came from. Hannah still, to this day, has never had an accidental discharge,'' her lawyers claim.

Earlier, it was revealed that the prop gun had a live bullet that was fired during the shooting. Now, it has emerged that assistant director Dave Hall, who did not know there were live rounds in the gun, had handed the firearm to Alec, and yelled, "Cold gun!", as per court documents.
The remark suggested the gun was safe to use and did not have live rounds. But, when the actor fired the gun, a live round hit Hutchins in the chest and wounded Souza who was nearby.
