‘Rust’ Armorer Found Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter in On-Set Shooting

Movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty Wednesday of causing the involuntary manslaughter of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty Wednesday of causing the involuntary manslaughter of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins two years ago on the set of the Alec Baldwin old Western flick Rust. In closing arguments Wednesday, prosecutors argued that Gutierrez-Reed negligently brought live ammunition onto the set and failed to identify that it was mixed in with the inert, dummy rounds that she was loading into prop weapons. In a police interview played for jurors during the trial, Gutierrez-Reed admitted she arrived on set with loose ammunition left over from her job on the Nicolas Cage movie The Old Way.
