hanna-attisha: absolutely.wait for those conversations, that we have already been having in our exam rooms. all we do as pete trish and's is give vaccines. this is what we do every single day. i want moms and dads to come into the office with questions. we talk about the science, the safety, the efficacy specifically of the covid vaccine. this is an amazing vaccine, it works really well, better than so many other vaccines we have. most importantly, it protects from serious illness and death. we have those conversations and we answer those questions. families have questions, as they said -- as they should. they want to build that trust in one-on-one conversations. we may not convince them in the first visit but we might in the second or third visit. i talk about the science, how the benefits greatly outweigh any potential risks. what i often do in those exam visits is also sure that i trust the vaccine so much, my own children have gotten the vaccine. my kids are in the 12 to 15 age group. the first day it was a

this was not the fault of hanna.charge on hanna's last set said several happened over the summer and lack of safety was a concern. >> i witnessed things on set that i thought were unsafe in my personal opinion. the way that she was handling firearms. >> reporter: when asked about her work on that project, her first as the role of armorer, gutierrez reed said -- >> i almost didn't take the job because it was my first one, but doing it, it went really smoothly. after the fatal shooting on the set of "rust" last week, court records said gutierrez reed told investigators no live armor is ever kept on set. that was contradicted this week by the sheriff. >> we regard in projectile to be the live round shot by mr. baldwin. we found 100 live rounds on set. >> the whole thing shocked me. i i was under the assumption, probably with most other people in this country, that movie sets were much safer and more protected than i think, at least this movie, was. >> reporter: no one has been charged but officials say no one has been c

these two individuals are armor hanna reed gutierrez and assistant director david halls. all three individuals have been cooperative in the investigation and have provided statements. over the last few days, our investigative team has been working diligently to conduct interviews, execute search warrants and collect and process evidence from the scene. during this process, we determined that there were a limited amount of movie staff present in the area where the actual incident took place. although there were approximately 100 people on set. through the execution of search warrants, we have collected about 600 items of evidence. these include, but are not limited to, three firearms, approximately 500 rounds of ammunition and several pieces of clothing and accessories. we believe that we have in our possession the firearm that was fired by mr. baldwin. this is the firearm we believe discharged the bullet. we also believe that we evhave e spent shell casing from the bullet that was fired from the gun. the actual lead projectile that was fired has been recovered from the sh

hanna has no idea where the live rounds came from.anna was hired on two positions on this film, which made it extremely difficult to focus for her job on armorer. she fought for days, time to properly prepare for gunfire, but ultimately was overruled by production and her department. >>> police in new mexico have more questions for the film's armorer. the santa fe county sheriff wants to know more about the rounds discovered and the safety measures. cnn's senior legal analyst, eli honig, says gutierrez reid could potentially face charges. >> so that's a really important statement bit armorer through her attorneys. i'm not sure it actually helps the armorer, ms. gutierrez. it leads to the next question, if you have no idea how a live round got into that gun, did you or did you not inspect that gun before it made its way onto set? if she did not inspect that gun, i think there's an argument that right there you have negligence, maybe criminal negligence. you're an armorer, what's your number one job? inspect the guns. if she did inspect

. >> so listen, the armorer for the movie hanna gutierrez is si it says i quote, safety is hanna's numberultimately, this set would never have been compromised if live ammo were not introduced. hanna has no idea where the live rounds came from. the whole production set became unsafe due to various factors including lack of safety meetings. this was not the fault of hanna. so look, that's her side of the story. that's what he says released through her attorneys. she says she was hired for two positions on the film, according to her made it difficult to focus on her job as an armorer and paints a picture of corners being cut and the lack of safety including safety meetings. i know investigators are looking for a followup interview with her. do you have additional questions you want to ask her? >> absolutely. we did, we were made aware of the statement this morning and that statement has been forwarded to our investigators. i think that statement actually brings forth more questions than it gives answers. so we do have some follow up questions, i think she raises some concerns in her stateme

hanna has no idea where the live rounds came from.ought them there and how they got there. >> reporter: reacting to allegations reported by the rap, they may have used the guns for target practice during down time, gutierrez said she never saw anyone shoot live rounds with the guns, nor would she permit that. >> we encouraged ms. gutierrez reed to come in so we can try to determine how those live rounds ended up on set. >> reporter: gutierrez reed attorneys said she was hired for two positions on "rust," making it hard for her to focus on the armor. she was overwhelmed by production. it revealed 12 revolvers, a long gun and a plastic gun were recovered. the other guns were in hand of other people and that she never had one actually discharge. she said there were unannounced discharges on that set. >> it was the star of our film that actually had yelled out about the unannounced discharge. >> reporter: he says in general producers find younger people willing to work for less instead of hiring hollywood veterans who demand for manpower

souza, the director, he may be very well named as kind of the captain of the ship or the director hanna gutierrez reid, for certain, this 24-year-old relatively new to the movie scene in terms of being an armorer. david halls, which you have already spoken about, for certain as the assistant director with which others have had problem. alec baldwin, in both his role as the actor and alec baldwin from reports that he was perhaps a co-direct -- co-producer of the film and then, of course, "rust's" movie production's llc, which will have a responsibility again in kind of their overall capacity of running this film. >> hey, is baldwin in -- in -- in more jeopardy because he is a producer in addition to acting in it or no? >> i think that baldwin's role -- and look, let's not mix up criminal and civil. so, on the criminal aspect, you know, the worst thing a prosecutor -- prosecutor can do is try to make a criminal case out of a civil case. in terms of his role as a producer, certainly, those are executive decisions made about who to hire. whether david halls was a negligent hiring -- you kno

. >> hanna gutierrez was responsible for handling the guns on set. it was her second movies ahead armour. >> this moment has shaken all of us to the very core. >> according to the search records from the sheriff's department that armour had three weapons as she had prepared and the assistant director grabbed one of them and handed it to alec baldwin, jericka. >> duncan: you know lilia, a lot of people want to know how is it possible that a gun with the ability to kill was even on set. >> that is a big question, i mean any gun could kill even a prop gun but the key is to understand why was there live ammunition on set, that is something that experts have told us should never, ever be the case. >> duncan: lilia luciano, thank you. president biden brought two pivotal senators to his delaware home today for talks over his wide ranging a genda and spending priorities. cbs's christina ruffini is at the white house tonight and joins us, christina, is a deal actually near? >> well, democrats seem to think or say that it is. but specter pelosi also said today

nick hanna was a texas ranger. >> west texas people are generally pretty friendly and pretty welcoming. but they were certainly concerned because, you know, texas has a history of having some incidents involving, whether it be waco or, you know, the branch davidians. >> reporter: as yfz was under construction, the texas legislature changed the age at which a person could marry with parental consent from 14 to 16. rebecca heard about the ranch, too. she wondered if any members of her family had moved there. so she checked with the local sheriff to see what he knew. nothing, it turned out. but he did begin using rebecca as a sort of interpreter. >> he would call me periodically and ask "can you tell me about this or can you tell me what this means to them?" >> reporter: then on an early spring day in march 2008, authorities in nearby san age -- angelo got a call from a woman who said her name was sarah barlow. claimed she lived at the ranch and was being abused and held against her will by her husband. >> she was a young girl and i think at the time of the phone call 16, she had already

should have been kept in a secured place by the armorer, who is an individual, 24-year-old woman named hanna gutierrez, and that's supposed to be kept in a secure place and it's supposed to then be passed on to the actor to use on set. in this case, of course, a gun with live ammunition was passed to baldwin. so i think baldwin ultimately -- his defense will be that he has the right to rely on the chain of custody of the gun going back to the armorer and that it was looked at by somebody who should have known better. but obviously, kate, if what we're hearing about this set is true, this was a disaster waiting to happen. that story about live ammunition being fired by crew members in the vicinity of the set is just a disgrace. live ammunition should be no place even close to a movie set. >> i was going to ask you, just kind of, you know, a movie set is not supposed to be real life. but the fact of this reporting is that they were even using that same gun is the reporting out there to do basically target practice. i think they were calling it plinking, the target practice with cans of some ki

i want to start with you, hanna. this is a harrowing story.d reporting being raped received and what that was based on. >> sure. absolutely. so at liberty university, they have a strict student code of conduct they refer to as the liberty way and students have to sign this code of conduct when they first come to campus and it dill lean yates a way how they should fall to the christian expectation for the school and among the things that are not allowed are any sort of drinking, partying, but also, even consensual sex is against the school code and students do stand to be punished if they are caught engaging in consensual sex. the question then stands what happens if non-consensual sex happens on college campuses, which it inevitably does. we're seeing students were punished for different violations of the liberty way when they came forward and said they had been assaulted or otherwise engaged sexually in a non-consensual context. so what we're seeing here is the cultural sexual purity and purity culture expanding to an extent that it affects w

in a statement released by her attorneys, hanna gutierrez reid expressed her condolences and defended her actions, but she says her superiors cut corners on gun safety. joining me now is nbc's emilie ikeda, who has been following this for us. what more can you tell us about what the armorer is saying here. >> reporter: like you said, this is the first time we're hearing from the armorer since the deadly shooting on the set of the production of "rust." her lawyer releasing a lengthy statement saying that hanna gutierrez reid had no idea where live ammunition came from. she said it was extremely difficult for her to focus, because she was hired for two positions on the film. she said she and the prop master gained control over the guns and she never witnessed anyone shoot live rounds with these guns nor would she permit that. they were locked up every night and at lunch. there's no way a single one of them was unaccounted for or being shot by crew members. hannah still to this day has never had an accidental discharge. that according to her attorneys. investigators say hundreds of round

"i check the barrel for obstructions, most of the time there is no live fire, she, hanna, opens the hatch and spins the drum and i said cold set." we know dave halls yelled out "cold gun" which means this thing is safe. david advised when hann
