Rust Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed Sentenced to 18 Months in Prison
Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter in Fatal On-Set Shooting
March 6, 2024
SANTA FE, N.M. — Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer for the film "Rust," has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for her role in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film in 2021. Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month after a jury trial.
Prosecutors in the case had asked for the maximum sentence of 18 months in prison, while Gutierrez-Reed's defense attorney had asked for probation. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer ultimately imposed the sentence, saying that Gutierrez-Reed had shown "reckless disregard" for safety on the set of the film.
Gutierrez-Reed's sentencing brings an end to a tragic chapter in the history of the film industry. The shooting of Hutchins on the set of "Rust" has led to a renewed focus on safety protocols on film sets and has raised questions about the responsibility of armorers and other crew members in ensuring the safety of actors and crew.
In a statement released after the sentencing, Gutierrez-Reed's attorney said that she was "heartbroken" by the outcome of the trial and that she "never intended for anyone to be hurt." He said that Gutierrez-Reed plans to appeal the sentence and that she "maintains her innocence."
