Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed released from prison, Entertainment News
Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been released from prison.
The 27-year-old, who was convicted in 2024 of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust in 2021, was released from prison after receiving the maximum 18 months sentence.
Gutierrez-Reed was responsible for weapons and firearms on the Rust film set, when a loaded prop revolver was supplied to actor and producer Alec Baldwin, resulting in the death of Hutchins and the wounding of the film's director, Joel Souz.
A New Mexico Corrections Department spokesperson told NBC News that Gutierrez-Reed - who was being held at Western New Mexico Correctional Facility in Grants, New Mexico - was released in Arizona, to a region near the Nevada and California borders.
A separate case in which Gutierrez-Reed was accused of unlawfully carrying a firearm in a licensed liquor establishment resulted in 18 months of probation.
She will be on parole for a year, with dual supervision under probation and parole authorities to take place concurrently.
She was previously acquitted of an additional charge of tampering with evidence.
According to her certificate of parole, obtained by CBS News, Gutierrez-Reed must follow the conditions set forth by the parole board, which include electric monitoring, following a curfew, and either getting a job or enrolling in school.
Gutierrez-Reed previously told the judge she was "young and naive" when she was working on Rust and begged for a lighter sentence.
According to CBS, she said: "I was young and naive. But I took my job as seriously as I knew how to. I beg you, please, don't give me more time. The jury has found me in part at fault for this horrible tragedy, but that doesn't make me a monster. That makes me human."

Trump says US justice department, not him, made decision to bring back Abrego Garcia

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was flown back to face criminal charges of transporting illegal immigrants within the US, Attorney-General Pam Bondi said on June 6. His return marked an inflection point in a case seized on by critics of Mr Trump's immigration crackdown as a sign that his administration was disregarding civil liberties in its push to step up deportations of migrants. 'Well, that wasn't my decision. The Department of Justice decided to do it that way, and that's fine,' Mr Trump told NBC News in an interview, when asked about Abrego Garcia's return. Mr Trump added that he had not spoken to El Salvador President Nayib Bukele about the move. Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Salvadoran whose wife and young child in Maryland are US citizens, appeared in federal court in Nashville on the evening of June 6. His arraignment was set for June 13, when he will enter a plea, according to local media reports. Until then, he will remain in federal custody. If convicted, he would be deported to El Salvador after serving his sentence, Ms Bondi said. The Trump administration has said Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, an accusation that his lawyers deny. Abrego Garcia was deported on March 15, more than two months before the charges were filed. He was briefly held in a mega-prison known as the Terrorism Confinement Centre in El Salvador, despite a US immigration judge's 2019 order barring him from being sent to the Central American nation because he would likely be persecuted by gangs. Mr Trump said he thought it would be 'a very easy case' against Abrego Garcia, who he accused of having a 'horrible record of abuse' of women. Abrego Garcia's lawyer, Mr Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, has called the criminal charges "fantastical." REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Footage of the incident shows motorcycles passing by the alligator, which appears to be stationary in the middle of the road. PHOTO: SCREENGRAB FROM CRYSTAL PEREZ/FACEBOOK Motorcyclists injured after collision with alligator along Florida highway Two motorcyclists were injured in Orange City, Florida after they hit a 1.8m alligator that had strayed on a major highway, American media outlets reported. Both bikers - which reports identified as a 67-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman - were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries after they veered off Interstate 4 on May 31. Footage of the incident, which has been uploaded on social media, shows motorcycles passing by the alligator, which was lying down in the middle of the road. Two motorcycles are later seen off the highway, with other motorcyclists rushing to provide assistance. A man is also seen lying on his back on the grass. A shot of the alligator, with blood on its snout, is also shown. The male biker, identified by CBS News as Mr Cameron Gilmore, ended up hitting a tree. He told the news outlet that he saw the alligator about 3m away and knew he would hit it, but did not have time to react. Mr Gilmore added that he was thrown off his motorcycle after hitting the animal. According to CBS News, he suffered road rash and some broken bones in his foot. There was no report of the female biker's injuries. American magazine People reported that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was called to assist with the alligator, which was injured but survived. It also said that the Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

FBI investigating ‘targeted terror attack' in Boulder, Colorado, director says
A suspect attacked people with Molotov cocktails who were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza. PHOTOS: SCREENGRAB FROM MISSNUNDRGROUND/X WASHINGTON - FBI Director Kash Patel said on June 1 the agency was aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado. While he did not provide further details, he said in a social media post: 'Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available.' According to CBS News, which cited witnesses at the scene, a suspect attacked people with Molotov cocktails who were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza. The Boulder Police Department said it was responding to a report of an attack in the city involving several victims. It has not released further details but a press conference was expected later. The attack comes just weeks after a Chicago-born man was arrested in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington, DC. Someone opened fire on a group of people leaving an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee, an advocacy group that fights anti-semitism and supports Israel. The shooting fueled polarisation in the United States over the war in Gaza between supporters of Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
