Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer convicted in the tragic on-set shooting death of a cinematographer during the filming of Alec Baldwin’s film "Rust," has been released from a New Mexico prison.

Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March 2024 for her role in the incident, where a live round discharged from a prop gun that Baldwin was handling in 2021. The shooting also injured director Joel Souza.

The "Rust" armorer has an appeal of the conviction pending in a higher court. Jurors acquitted her of allegations she tampered with evidence in the "Rust" investigation.
