The weapons supervisor of the Western film “Rust” was sentenced to 18 months in prison for the fatal shooting on the film’s set that left the cinematographer dead with a gun wielded by Alec Baldwin, during a sentencing hearing Monday in the New Mexico State Court.
Gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty by a jury in March of a manslaughter charge in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and was held for more than a month in a county jail outside Santa Fe.
Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer of “Rust,” was pointing a gun at Hutchins when the gun went off, killing the cinematographer and wounding director Joel Souza.
Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter charge in Hutchins’ death. His trial is scheduled for July in a Santa Fe court.
The sentence against Gutierrez-Reed was issued by New Mexico Judge Mary Marlowe Summer, who is overseeing the proceedings against Baldwin.
