The armorer of “RUST” sentenced

The sentencing of Hannah Gutierrez, the armorer on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie “Rust,” to 18 months in prison underscores the grave consequences of her negligence in handling firearms. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer’s words emphasize Gutierrez’s pivotal role in ensuring the safety of the weapons on set and the tragic outcome of her failure to do so. The loss of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is a stark reminder of the importance of strict adherence to safety protocols in the film industry to prevent such avoidable tragedies.
