Quentin Tarantino said that while Alec Baldwin isn’t solely responsible for Halyna Hutchins' death on the Rust set, he should take some blame. The director discussed the 2021 fatal shooting on yesterday’s episode of Bill Maher's podcast Club Random, where he attributed 90% of the responsibility to armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, while placing the remaining blame on Baldwin. “It's a situation, I think I'm being fair enough to say, that the armorer — the guy who handles the gun — is 90% responsible for everything that happens when it comes to that gun... but but but but but.... the actor is 10% responsible,” Tarantino said. He added: “You are a partner in responsibility to some degree.” Tarantino believes actors should personally inspect their weapons to ensure there are no bullets in the barrel or other issues before using them in scenes.
