'Rust' armorer convicted in fatal on-set shooting death is released from prison
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was responsible for firearms used on set when a prop revolver actor Alec Baldwin was holding fired a live round that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021. Gutierrez-Reed was released Friday morning, a New Mexico Corrections Department spokesperson said.
She was released in Arizona, with dual supervision under probation and parole authorities to take place concurrently, spokesperson Brittany Roembach said.
In March 2024, a New Mexico jury found Gutierrez-Reed guilty of involuntary manslaughter and not guilty of tampering with evidence. She was 26 at the time.
The following month, Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to the maximum penalty of 18 months in prison. She was held at Western New Mexico Correctional Facility in Grants, New Mexico.
Because of state credit for time served, women in state prisons in New Mexico generally serve a little less than 60% of their sentences on average, according to the state's sentencing commission. However, it's not clear if this applied to Gutierrez-Reed's time.
Baldwin was rehearsing a scene for the Western at the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, when the prop gun fired.
The armorer pleaded not guilty and fought the case in court, sometimes through tears as special prosecutor Kari T. Morrissey told the jury that Gutierrez-Reed 'was negligent, she was careless, she was thoughtless.'
"Rust" director Joel Souza, who was also injured during the incident, said Gutierrez-Reed presided over a number of "failures" with the handling and storage of firearms and blanks on set.
She is the daughter of Hollywood armorer Thell Reed.
The movie was released earlier this month, more than years after the fatal shooting, which stopped production.
The Western drama stars and was produced by Baldwin.
New Mexico prosecutors twice charged Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter. The first time, the charges were dropped in April 2023. The second time, a judge dismissed the case with prejudice, saying prosecutors hid evidence that may have been linked to the shooting.

These Are The Six Skirt Trends You'll See Everywhere For The Rest Of 2025
This time of year goes hand-in-hand with dresses, doesn't it? But while we'll always have an undeniable love for a cami style or a timeless puff sleeve, it's skirts that are stealing all of our attention this year. And rightly so, considering we're seeing so many unique and interesting trends as part of the maximalist aesthetic we're all embracing for 2025. Everything feels elevated, will gain glances across a room, and will even make strangers stop to ask you where you got yours from. And the best part is, as we sit somewhere between high summer, with pre-fall already trickling into the shops, these are the skirt trends that'll actually work across all seasons – with some clever styling, of course. So which skirt trends are dominating, according to team Grazia ? Thebubble hemis back from the '00s to liven up a simple vest top or shirt, lace is updating everything from the satin slip to sheer styles, and denim has had a Western hit with contact stitching and pleats, giving them a fresh new feel. No matter your style, we predict you'll want to wear at least one of these skirt trends in the upcoming weeks, so let us give you some inspiration on how to style them, along with exactly where to shop them. The bubble hem (or puffball) brings the drama to any outfit. It's the unexpected skirt style making a comeback, and it's big news – quite literally – right now. From minis, to midis and maxis, no matter which length you choose, we suggest balancing out the OTT skirt with a more fitted top or jacket. 1. Cos Bubble Hem Mini Skirt 2. Ganni Pink Washed Mini Bubble Skirt 3. River Island Red Bubble Hem Midi Skirt Again tapping into the voluminous skirt trend, these lightweight poplin midi skirts will be the base to so many effortless outfits. For summer, stick to sandals and a nice top, and come autumn you'll be adding glossy knee-high boots and a windbreaker jacket. 4. Zara Belted Midi A-Line Skirt 5. Mango Midi Skirt With Frayed Ends 6. Damson Madder Layla Striped Cotton Midi Skirt The denim skirt has been a mainstay in fashion people's wardrobes for years, but instead of the usual plain mini you've previously relied on, look for attention to detail. Western additions of contrast stitching, pleating and contrast materials are making the classic feel so fresh. 7. Sandro Paris Denim Contrast Trim Skirt 8. H&M Pleated Denim Skirt 9. Jacquemus Triangle De-Nîmes Denim Midi Skirt Price: £690 The satin slip will always be relevant, and this year it's getting an upgrade in pretty hues, bold prints and the most popular style right now; a hint of lace. No matter which direction you go in, just make sure your skirt is silky soft to the touch. 10. Next Satin Midi Skirt With Lace Trim 11. Max Mara Luna Printed Midi Skirt 12. New Look Satin Midi Skirt Talking of lace, it's being spotted on everything from cami tops and dresses to skirts this year, and we can't get enough. Show off a textured style by simply adding a longline top and heels. For the season ahead, no doubt you'll be layering over jeans with a light knit, too. 13. H&M Lace Skirt 14. Wardrobe NYC Price: £340 15. Zara Studded Lace Skirt With peek-a-boo trends being key, skirts have also got the flashy memo. Organza, sheer skirts are the delicate style to know, and they're a lot more wearable than you may think. Add a matching top for after-dark and an oversized shirt with sandals for an office look, with interest. 16. Cos Sheer Column Skirt 17. Simone Rocha Bow-Detail Sheer Tulle Midi Skirt Price: £475 18. The Frankie Shop Alsen Wrap Skirt Harriet Davey is a freelance fashion editor and stylist, contributing to many titles including Vogue, Stylist, Glamour, Who What Wear and of course, Grazia.

Halsey's Americana co-star gushes about 'thoughtful' gift from singer
Halsey stars in the new Western thriller, and the singer's young co-star has opened up about working with her Pop sensation Halsey has made her cinema debut in Americana, a Western thriller that's been described as 'Tarantino-esque'. Landing in cinemas next Friday, the film also features Euphoria stars Sydney Sweeney and Eric Dane. The plot follows timid waitress Penny Jo (Sweeney) and military veteran Lefty Ledbetter (Paul Walter Hauser), who join forces to get their hands on a rare Native American artefact. Their quest puts them in the firing line of Dillon MacIntosh (Dane), a merciless criminal working for an antiquities trader. As the story unfolds, viewers meet Mandy Starr (Halsey), a desperate woman fleeing her dangerous past with her son Cal, played by emerging talent Gavin Maddox Bergman, reports the Mirror US. Now, Gavin, who was a pre-teen during filming, has revealed heart-warming stories about working with Halsey. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror 's Screen Time team, the now teenage actor said: "Halsey is such a kind person. She's very generous and we actually found that we have a lot of shared interests, specifically with art." He went on, divulging a thoughtful gesture from the singer: "My 12th birthday was on set and she went out of her way to get me a six-pack of Crumbl cookies as a surprise." But the pop star's kindness didn't end there, with Gavin also revealing a heart-warming wrap present he received from the chart-topper. "She got me an iPad because I hadn't had any devices like that. She wanted me to get into digital art and she was very kind for getting me that," Gavin told us, adding: "That was awesome. It was a really thoughtful gift." Prior to rubbing shoulders with the Colors singer, Gavin had already been acquainted with her chart-topping tracks. "My mom and I love her music," said the young actor. "We used to listen to her on the radio and we became pretty big fans." So when he learned he would be appearing alongside her on screen, it was "very, very exciting". Elsewhere in our conversation, the budding film star also revealed what attracted him to the role of Cal. "I saw this lonely boy, who just wanted to find his space in the world. And that's what we do as kids, we try to find belonging and connection," he explained.

The issue started to raise questions across Germany after a concerning number of reports were made in June.

The victims were aged between 11 to 16 and had all been at the Barbarossabad pool on the same day. Criminal charges were filed against all of the suspects, who were also been banned from the pool following the harrowing incident. 3
