'Rust' Armorer Convicted, Alec Baldwin Next?
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace - Een podcast door iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer in charge of the guns in the film "Rust," has been found guilty of manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Hutchins was killed when star Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun during rehearsal loaded with live ammo instead of a blank round. Reports say first assistant director David Halls picked up one of the three prop guns that had been set up by armorer Hannah Gutierrez and yelled, “Cold gun.” "Cold gun" is industry slang meaning the gun did not contain live rounds. Halls gave the gun to Baldwin who was using the gun to rehearse a scene. The search warrant said Baldwin was aiming the weapon at the camera when he fired, striking Hutchins and Souza. Reports have surfaced that the weapon was used for target practice by crew members that morning. Gutierrez Reed faces up to 18 months in prison at sentencing in April. Baldwin has also been charged. His trial starts in July.
