A weapons supervisor charged with felony involuntary manslaughter for her alleged role in the shooting death of a cinematographer on the set of a Western movie has made her first formal court appearance. While the judge did not take Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s plea of not guilty Friday, she set conditions of release that allow Hannah Gutierrez-Reed to keep a gun at home for self-defense. A defense attorney says Gutierrez-Reed received threats after the October 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by actor Alec Baldwin. Separately, producers of “Rust” have agreed to pay a $100,000 fine to settle allegations of workplace safety violations.
