A ROOKIE armourer on the film set where Alec Baldwin accidentally shot dead a woman said she wasn't sure" she was ready for the job.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 24, admitted she was still learning", telling a podcast last month: “I was really nervous about it at first, and I almost didn't take the job because I wasn't sure if I was ready Gutierrez-Reed, a former model and actress and the daughter of well-known Hollywood armourer Thell Reed, added: “Dad's been teaching me a little bit since I was 16, we really got more into the stuff in the last couple of years.

“You know, I think loading blanks was the scariest thing because I was like: 'Oh I don't know anything about it? “But you know, he taught me that and eventually, by the time I was trying to figure out how to make a specific blank go when you want it to rather than it hitting the empty cylinders and everything, I figured that out on my own.
