Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer for the movie Rust who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for actor Alec Baldwin shooting the movie’s cinematographer to death with a prop gun during filming, has again found herself in a New Mexico courtroom thanks to damning evidence found on her cell phone during the Rust investigation. In the self-filmed video, shot a few weeks before the movie’s filming began, she explained how she snuck the prohibited firearm into the establishment. Gutierrez-Reed originally pleaded not guilty to a charge of carrying a gun into a licensed liquor establishment. He also faced an involuntary manslaughter charge when he went to trial for the Rust shooting back in July. The high-profile trials stemmed from Baldwin shooting cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with what he assumed was a blank gun back on the set of Rust in October 2021.
