"Rust" Armorer Convicted of Involuntary Manslaughter in Alec Baldwin Shooting

"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 shooting on the film set, where actor Alec Baldwin held a prop gun that fired a live round, killing the cinematographer and injuring the director. Gutierrez-Reed faces up to three years in prison and was taken into custody pending sentencing. The trial also brought attention to Baldwin's conduct and lack of gun safety, with his criminal trial set for July. Witnesses, including the injured director and the film's safety coordinator, testified about the incident, and Gutierrez-Reed's attorney argued that Baldwin was ultimately responsible for the tragedy.
