In New Mexico, a jury found Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the weapons handler on the film “Rust,” guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the 2022 killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by a loaded prop gun. Jurors agreed that Gutierrez-Reed, whose father is a prominent armorer in Hollywood, displayed “willful disregard for the safety of others.” She faces up to 18 months in prison. Alec Baldwin, who fired the gun during a rehearsal, is the star and a producer of “Rust”; he will face his own manslaughter trial in July.
