Description

The armourer who loaded the gun that killed a cinematographer on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie "Rust" has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter. A jury in New Mexico took just over two hours to find Hannah Gutierrez guilty over the death of Halyna Hutchins in October 2021 during filming of the budget Western. A 10-day trial heard how Gutierrez had been ultimately responsible for the use of live rounds on set, a red line across the industry. The court had also heard how she had repeatedly failed to adhere to basic safety rules, leaving guns unattended and allowing actors, including Baldwin, to wave weapons around.
