Rust armourer convicted of involuntary manslaughter after fatal shooting on set

A film set weapons armourer who loaded a gun for US actor Alec Baldwin which fired and killed a cinematographer has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

Pending the trial of Alec Baldwin this summer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty Wednesday, and faces up to 18 months in prison. His sentence will not be determined until April.

Hannah Gutierez-Reed, however, was found not guilty of hiding evidence after the shooting on set that took place in 2021.

The jury has decided that Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the ammunition handler on the Rust film set who loaded live bullets instead of blanks into Alec Baldwin's revolver, resulting in an accident and the death of director of photography Halyna Hutchins, is guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
