Hannah Gutierrez-Reed: Rust armourer guilty of Halyna Hutchins' death
A movie set weapons handler who loaded a gun for actor Alec Baldwin before it fired and killed a cinematographer has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found not guilty of a second charge - tampering with evidence over the 2021 shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.
The 26-year-old faces up to 18 months in jail. She will be sentenced later.
Mr Baldwin, 65, also faces a manslaughter trial in July.
Ms Hutchins, 42, was killed after a gun Mr Baldwin used in a rehearsal fired a live round on the set of the Western in New Mexico.
A lawyer for Mr Baldwin said Gutierrez-Reed's sentencing was "very positive" for her client's upcoming case.
He could not have foreseen that there was a live round on set because the "safety, maintenance and care of the firearm and the ammunition" was the responsibility of the armourer, Misty Marris told CNN.
