Rust shooting case: Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed released after 18-month sentence
Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been released from prison. Gutierrez-Reed, 27 – 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-month 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 Souza. 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.

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." [[nid:673091]]

'Rust' armorer convicted in fatal on-set shooting death is released from prison
The film armorer convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust" has been 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, to a region near the Nevada and California borders, with dual supervision under probation and parole authorities to take place concurrently, spokesperson Brittany Roembach said. She will be on parole in the manslaughter case for a year, the spokersperson said. A separate and previous case in which Gutierrez-Reed was accused of unlawfully carrying a firearm in a licensed liquor establishment has resulted in 18 months of probation, 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, Gutierrez-Reed was required to serve at least 85% of her sentence, Roembach said. In New Mexico, those convicted of a "serious violent offense" have this requirement. Involuntary manslaughter is not considered a serious violent offense in all cases, but some, like the armorer's, have drawn that 85% threshold based on circumstances. Elements that trimmed Gutierrez-Reed's time included four days credit each month for good behavior; 60 days credit for completing two phases of a residential addiction program; and 40 days of pre-sentence credit, the corrections spokesperson said. 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. Baldwin, who had pleaded not guilty, cried in court when the dismissal was announced. This article was originally published on
