TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors in the case of the accidental shooting on the set of "Rust" allege that the movie's weapons supervisor, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was likely hungover when she loaded a live bullet into the revolver used by Alec Baldwin, who then accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Gutierrez-Reed's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter charge against her, but prosecutors claim she has a history of reckless behavior and should be held accountable. Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and prosecutors will decide whether to recharge him within the next 60 days. Gutierrez-Reed will go to court on August 9 for a preliminary hearing.
