Rust weapons supervisor Hannah Gutierrez jailed over fatal shooting on Alec Baldwin film set

The weapons supervisor for the film Rust has been jailed for 18 months following the fatal shooting of the film's cinematographer on set. Hannah Gutierrez, 26, was sentenced today after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter by jurors in Santa Fe, New Mexico, following a trial. She was in charge of weapons during the production of the western film in October 2021, when a Colt 45 revolver fired by actor and co-producer Alec Baldwin went off during a rehearsal.

'If not for you, Ms Hutchins would be alive, a husband would have his partner and a little boy would have his mother.' Prosecutors blamed Gutierrez for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto the set where it was prohibited and for failing to follow basic gun safety protocols. They had urged the judge to impose an 18-month sentence and designate Gutierrez-Reed as a 'serious violent offender' to limit her eligibility for a sentence reduction later.
