The chief weapons handler on Rust was sentenced to 18 months in prison for the 2021 fatal, on-set shooting of the movie’s cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by the actor Alec Baldwin.
The judge in the case said on Monday she had failed to take responsibility for her role in Hutchins’s death and sentenced her to prison.
Previous on-set fatal shootings of actors Brandon Lee in 1993 and Jon-Erik Hexum in 1984 involved blank rounds.
The prosecution requested 18 months for Gutierrez-Reed, pointing to jailhouse phone calls in which the armorer blamed Baldwin and others for the shooting and said the judge had been “paid off”.
