Pacing up and down and talking animatedly on her phone, rookie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was seen for the first time since a gun she loaded killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins while being handled by Alec Baldwin.
Gutierrez-Reed, 24, fled Santa Fe to her dilapidated Bullhead City, Arizona, home by DailyMail.com where she declined to speak about the fatal accident.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos show a worried-looking Gutierrez-Reed pacing outside her home and speaking on the phone before dashing back inside and refusing to answer the door.
Gutierrez-Reed was named on Friday as the person who loaded Baldwin's vintage Colt pistol which was being used in a gunfight scene set in a church at the Bonanza Ranch in Santa Fe.

A call sheet obtained by DailyMail.com names the 24-year-old as the film's assistant prop master and armorer, overseen by prop master Sarah Zachry.
She also appeared in a photo posted by Hutchins to her Instagram page showing the whole crew two days before she was killed.
According to a police warrant, the Colt was one of three pistols left on a table by Gutierrez-Reed and was handed to Baldwin by British assistant director Dave Halls who told the veteran actor it was 'cold'- not realizing it had been loaded with live rounds.
Cops say Baldwin was practicing drawing the weapon when it fired – fatally hitting cinematographer Hutchins, 42, and injuring director Joel Souza, 48.
After the shooting, the armorer took possession of the gun and a spent casing, which were turned over to police, along with other prop guns and ammunition used on the set.
According to a call sheet obtained by DailyMail.com, the crew was rehearsing a mock gunfight inside the church building when Hutchins was hit.

The audio recordings of 911 calls made by the crew of Alec Baldwin's film Rust have revealed desperate attempts to save their colleague, and allegations of negligence.
Mamie Mitchell, the script supervisor of the film, made the call after Baldwin accidentally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, and director Joel Souza, 48.
The group were filming the Western film in the desert outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Thursday when the tragedy happened.
In her call, Mitchell, a veteran script supervisor with credits dating back to 1974, points the finger at the assistant director, accusing him of negligence.
Mitchell calls 911 and tells the woman answering: 'We need an ambulance out at Bonanza Creek Ranch right now. We have had two people accidentally shot on a movie set accidentally.'
While she is on the phone, Mitchell is instructing another person to 'clear the road' to allow the ambulance easy access to the site.
Mitchell is then transferred to the Santa Fe fire and EMS, and, sounding panicked, urges a swift response.
'Bonanza Creek ranch. We have had two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun.
'We need help immediately. Bonanza Creek ranch. Come on.'
The 911 operators then asks Mitchell for her details.
Mitchell, who has worked on films including No Country For Old Men, Sicario and 3:10 to Yuma, can be heard saying: 'It sounds like somebody else is calling for ambulances.
'Everybody should be. We need some help.
'Our director and our camerawoman has been shot.'
She then asks someone on set: 'Are they going to take him to the road?'
The 911 operator asks: 'So, was it loaded with a real bullet or what?'
Mitchell replies: 'I don't, I cannot tell you that. We have two injuries from a movie gunshot.'
While the phone operator is inputting the details, Mitchell can be heard telling someone else: 'OK, this f****** AD that yelled at me at lunch asking about revisions, this motherf*****.
'Did you see him lean over my desk and yell at me? He's supposed to check the guns. He's responsible for what happened.'
According to a search warrant filed in a Santa Fe court, the gun was one of three that the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, had set on a cart outside the wooden structure where a scene was being acted.

Assistant director Dave Halls grabbed the gun from the cart and brought it inside to Baldwin, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds, a detective wrote in the search warrant application.
It is not known whether Mitchell was referring Halls in the audio.
It was unclear how many rounds were fired. Gutierrez removed a shell casing from the gun after the shooting, and she turned the weapon over to police when they arrived, the court records say.
On the call, the 911 operator tries to ask Mitchell how many people were injured and, confused, Mitchell replies: 'No, no, I'm a script supervisor.'
The operator asks again, and Mitchell says: 'Two that I know of. I was sitting there rehearsing and it went off and I ran out. We all went out there, but doubled over the camerawoman and the director.'
She tells another person: 'They are clearing the road, can you go back - back in the town, back in the Western camp.'
The operator asks if there is any serious bleeding, and Mitchell, flustered, hands the phone over to a man.
'Hello?' the man says.
'Hi, I have a protocol of questions I need to ask. If you could answer them as best you can,' the 911 operator says. 'Are they completely alert?'
The man replies: 'Yes, they are alert.'
The operator asks if the bleeding is controlled, and the man replies: 'Let's see if I'm allowed to get closer... No.'
It is unclear if he is saying that the bleeding is not controlled, or that he is not able to get closer.
'We've got one laying down,' he tells the operator, adding that they are near gate one and have a van ready to escort the ambulances quickly to the precise spot.

A woman then calls back saying: 'Hi, I am calling back from Bonanza Creek Ranch. We actually need two ambulances not one.'
The operator replies: 'OK, so we're doing a call now for somebody else and we'll get two up to you.'
The woman, her voice showing the strain, replies: 'OK. And that's 10 to 15 minutes?'
'I don't know - we're getting them right now, to you now,' the operator replies.
'What? What?' the woman says, sounding panicked as she speaks to someone else.
'We have two ambulances heading your way.'
'What?' the woman says, then returns speaking to the operator: 'OK, thank you.'

The operator replies: 'You're welcome, bye.'
Mitchell later said she was standing next to Hutchins when she was shot.
'I ran out and called 911 and said 'Bring everybody, send everybody,' Mitchell told The Associated Press.
'This woman is gone at the beginning of her career. She was an extraordinary, rare, very rare woman.'
Mitchell said she and other crew members were attending a private memorial service Friday night in Santa Fe.
Baldwin described the killing as a 'tragic accident.'
'There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours. I'm fully cooperating with the police investigation,' Baldwin wrote on Twitter.
'My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.'
No immediate charges were filed, and sheriff's spokesman Juan Rios said Baldwin was permitted to travel.
'He's a free man,' Rios said.

Co-stars Jensen Ackles, Swen Temmers and Travis Hammer were also in the scene – numbered 121 - alongside Baldwin's stunt double Blake Teixeira and stunt coordinator Allan Graf.
Ackles spoke about his weapons training for the film a week before the tragic on-set shooting accident. The actor, who frequently used a gun playing Dean Winchester for 15 seasons on Supernatural, regaled a crowd of fans with an anecdote about his brief gun training for Rust a week before Baldwin's tragic gun accident.
Alec Baldwin was wielding a vintage Colt pistol when it accidentally went off. It is not known who loaded the weapon and why it went off as a replacement crew was brought in the day of the incident (The gun pictured above is a vintage Colt pistol manufactured between 1873-92. While the exact model of the gun used is unknown, Rust is set in the 1880s)
The gun that killed the cinematographer on the set of Alec Baldwin's Rust had been used for target practice by crew members, sources linked to the western film's production said.
Multiple sources connected to the set of Rust told TMZ that the same Colt pistol that went off in Alec Baldwin's hands, killing Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza, had been used recreationally by crew members.
The sources claim that some crew members would go off for target practice using real bullets, and some believe a live round from those practice sessions found its way onto the set.
Another source told TMZ that live ammo and blanks were being stored in the same area on set, offering another possible explanation as to how a bullet was fired from Baldwin's Colt.
A search warrant released Friday said that Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 24, had laid out three prop guns on a cart outside the filming location, and first assistant director Dave Halls grabbed the Colt from the cart and brought it inside to Baldwin, unaware that it was loaded with live rounds.
'Cold gun!' shouted Halls before handing the gun to Baldwin, using the phrase to signal to cast and crew that the gun was safe to fire for the scene, the warrant said.
Seconds later, filming a scene inside an Old West-style church, Baldwin apparently aimed towards the camera and pulled the trigger, accidentally killing Hutchins as she filmed him, and injuring Souza, who stood behind her.
Two production sources who previously worked with Gutierrez-Reed said this was not the first time she was involved in an incident on a movie set.
The two sources told The Daily Beast that Hannah Gutierrez-Reed had allegedly given an 11-year-old actress a gun without checking it properly while on the set of the Nicholas Cage film, The Old Way.
'There were a couple times she was loading the blanks and doing it in a fashion that we thought was unsafe,' one of the sources said.
'She was a bit careless with the guns, waving it around every now and again.'
Sources on the Rust set have said the fatal incident that killed Hutchins, 42, and injured Souza, 48, was a result of production failings from top to bottom.
They added that assistant director Halls, who
