The name of the Rust armorer who may be primarily responsible for failing to make certain that the Colt pistol fired yesterday by Alec Baldwin was “cold” and therefore not loaded, has been named in a search warrant affidavit that’s been obtained by Santa Fe Reporter ‘s Jeff Proctor.
In the story Proctor states that while the name of Rust’s assistant director and armorer are included in the affadavit, “SFR is not identifying them because neither has been accused or charged with a crime.”
A 10.21 Daily Mail story suggests that the armorer may be (or may have been) female.
Indiewire’s Chris Lindahl has reported that he also has the name of the armorer, having obtained Thursday’s call sheet. But mum’s the word.
