The armorer working on the set of "Rust," where actor Alec Baldwin shot and killed a cinematographer last week, exhibited lax gun safety on the set of another film just two months prior, The Wrap reported.
Stu Brumbaugh, who worked as a key grip on the set of "The Old Way," told The Wrap that Hannah Gutierrez-Reed's behavior caused star Nicolas Cage to scream at her and storm off set.
Brumbaugh said Cage snapped when Gutierrez-Reed fired a gun near the cast and crew for the second time in three days without warning.
"Make an announcement, you just blew my f------ eardrums out!" Cage yelled before walking off the set, Brumbaugh told the publication.
Insider reached out to Brumbaugh and a representative of Cage's for comment on Wednesday, but did not immediately receive responses.
Brumbaugh told The Wrap that he witnessed other examples of Gutierrez-Reed exhibiting poor gun safety.
Brumbaugh said she walked onto set with live rounds of blanks without making a public announcement to cast and crew. She also tucked pistols under her armpits, which ended up being pointed at people when she turned her back to them, he said.
Gutierrez-Reed did not respond to Insider's request for comment on Brumbaugh's allegations.
Brumbaugh said he told the assistant director on the film that Gutierrez-Reed should be fired, and in the process learned that it was her first film.
