A third search warrant released by the Santa Fe Sheriff’s office Wednesday revealed a fourth person handled the firearm that actor Alec Baldwin accidentally discharged on the set of “Rust,” killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.
Sarah Zachry, who was first mentioned in the third search warrant executed by the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Department, has been interviewed by police about the fatal shooting of Hutchins, Fox News can confirm.
She’s another individual who is being interviewed who had contact with the firearm, it seems like,” Santa Fe Sheriff’s Department spokesman told Fox News in a statement Thursday.
A third search warrant from the Magistrate Court County of Santa Fe released on Wednesday said that the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, examined the on-set guns on the day of the incident to ensure that they were not “hot,” an industry term meaning loaded with ammunition or blanks.
The guns were then secured in a safe on a “prop truck,” per the warrant. However, during lunch, ammunition was left unsecured on a cart on the set.
According to the search warrant, Zachry, who is believed to have served as the prop master on “Rust,” removed the guns from the safe in the truck after lunch and handed them to Gutierrez, Gutierrez said.
