Rust trial: Armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was ‘sloppy’ before Alec Baldwin gun fired

A movie set weapons handler who loaded a gun for actor Alec Baldwin before it fired and killed a cinematographer was “sloppy”, her trial has heard.

“Negligent acts” by armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 26, led to Halyna Hutchins’ death during the production of Rust, prosecutors told the court.

Ms Gutierrez-Reed’s lawyers laid the blame at the feet of Mr Baldwin, who they argued violated basic safety.

Mr Baldwin, 65, is also charged over Hutchins’ death on 21 October 2021.
