CNN 'Rust' crew members used live 'Ammo' on-set before fatal shooting

UPDATE: Filming of the western "Rust" has been halted indefinitely at Santa Fe, New Mexico. The investigation is on-going after the fatal gun shooting of two crew members.

It has been reported by "Yahoo" news. A land-lord has asked Hannah Gutierrez Reed to move out of the home she is renting at Arizona... Hannah was hired as the "armorer" on the western "Rust." She was responsible for all props with the production. That includes the gun that went off in Alec Baldwin's hand. 

Cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, was killed and director, Joel Souza, was wounded. Hannah did not hand over the gun to Baldwin. The assistant director did. 

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said on Tuesday that..., "The state is prepared to take action to improve safety on film sets if the industry’s doesn’t."

CNN reports that "Rust" crew members had shot off real ammunitions before the fatal gun accident. Watch news below.
