Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed released from prison after serving sentence for involuntary manslaughter

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the weapons supervisor on the Western drama 'Rust,' has been released from prison for her role in the on-set death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.

Gutierrez-Reed was serving as the weapons supervisor on Rust on Oct. 21, 2021, when a prop gun being wielded by actor and producer Alec Baldwin discharged a live round, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Prosecutors in Gutierrez-Reed's case argued that she was neglectful in her duties supervising the safety of the prop weapons on Rust, contending that she unknowingly brought live ammunition to the production and allowed it to remain on set for at least 12 days, according to the Associated Press. When Rust opened, Hutchins' mother, Olga Solovey, and sister, Svetlana Zemko, encouraged people to see the film despite its tragic background.
