The weapons supervisor for the production of Rust in 2021 has been jailed for 18 months after the film's cinematographer was shot dead.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after a revolver fired by Alec Baldwin went off during a rehearsal and killed Halyna Hutchins.

The 26-year-old was in charge of weapons during the production of the western film.

Prosecutors said Gutierrez-Reed was to blame after she unintentionally brought ammunition onto the set - which is banned.

Jurors also heard the former weapons supervisor failed to follow basic gun safety protocols.

Prosecutor, Kari Morrissey said: "She was negligent, she was careless, she was thoughtless."
