SANTA FE, New Mexico - Hannah Gutierrez, the chief weapons handler for the Western movie Rust, was sentenced to 18 months in prison on April 15 in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot when actor Alec Baldwin was handling a gun during the film’s production in 2021.
In March, Gutierrez, 27, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for mistakenly loading a live round into a revolver Baldwin was using on a Santa Fe, New Mexico, movie set.
“I struggle to deal with this repeatedly being called an accident, because it was not an accident, it was negligence,” said Jen White, a film industry colleague. Gutierrez’s lawyer Jason Bowles had requested she be given probation, but prosecutors argued for a full 18 months due to lack of contrition.
“It’s the hardest thing to lose a child,” said Olga Solovey, whose comments were translated into English in subtitles. During Gutierrez’s three-week trial, prosecutors accused her of unknowingly bringing live Colt .45 rounds onto the set of the low-budget movie, something that has been strictly forbidden for nearly a century under Screen Actors Guild safety guidelines.A 2021 photo at a New Mexico vigil for shooting victim Halyna Hutchins shows the late cinematographer.
