Police in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wisconsin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wisconsin</a> shot and killed an armed teenager outside a middle school on Wednesday, according to a statement from school officials.
The Mount Horeb Area School District said that the assailant &#8220;did not breach entryway&#8221; at Mount Horeb Middle School and that there were &#8220;no reports of individuals being harmed, with the exception of the alleged assailant.&#8221;
&#8220;The threat has been neutralized outside of the building,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;Law-enforcement is circulating throughout the middle school to confirm the safety of all students.&#8221;
A local ABC affiliate said that the suspect was a 14-year-old who approached the school with what appeared to be a long gun.
Bomb technicians were investigating the car that the suspect drove to the scene to see if there were explosives in it.

&#8220;Due to safety precautions taken by our Schools, the shooter was never able to enter the building,&#8221; said Mount Horeb Village president Ryan Czyzewski and Mount Horeb Chamber Board chair Kara Brandemuehl in a joint statement. &#8220;The collaboration and coordination between our community&#8217;s first responders and School District exemplified the highest standards of professionalism and dedication.&#8221;

Eight law enforcement officials were shot on Monday while serving a warrant at a home in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The shooting happened in the area of the 5000 block of Galway Drive when the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, which is comprised of several agencies, was serving a warrant. A SWAT team was dispatched the scene to help get control of the situation.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings said that of the eight who were shot, four were with the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force and four with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, according to <a href="https://www.live5news.com/2024/04/29/report-3-us-marshal-task-force-officers-killed-4-hurt-charlotte-shooting/">WBTV</a>.
The report stated that three were killed, including one who was a federal agent with the U.S. Marshals. One of the five who was injured is a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officer who is listed in critical condition.
After the publication of this report, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department announced that the officer who was in critical condition passed away from his injuries.
“We are very early in the investigation,” he added. “CMPD will lead this investigation, we still have a lot to uncover, a lot of questions that are not answered right now.”
Police said that the scene was clear on Monday evening that the public around the area no longer needed to shelter in place.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said that at least one shooting suspect was killed at the scene.
Two other individuals who were in the home were being questioned by law enforcement officials.
The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/29/us-news/police-officers-wounded-in-shooting-near-charlotte/">reported</a> that law enforcement was serving a warrant &#8220;for a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.&#8221;
&#8220;The bravery of our officers that responded to the scene, knowing that they&#8217;re going into gunfire is what I&#8217;ve been saying for many years, is in the face of danger, our people step up,&#8221; Jennings said, adding that this was &#8220;the most tragic [shooting] that I&#8217;ve been involved in.&#8221;
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper posted on X: &#8220;Our hearts are with the families and co-workers of officers in today’s brutal attack, including two state Department of Adult Correction officers working with the US Marshal’s Task Force who were shot and killed.&#8221;

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison following <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alec-baldwin-enters-plea-in-rust-shooting-case" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alec Baldwin</a>&#8216;s &#8220;Rust&#8221; shooting in New Mexico in 2021 that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead.
On Monday, the 26-year-old armorer got <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZtJxfcDUt4">emotional</a> before she learned her fate when New Mexico Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer handed down the maximum sentence possible, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/15/us-news/rust-armorer-hannah-gutierrez-sentenced-in-death-of-halyna-hutchins/">New York Post</a> reported. In March, the armorer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Hutchins on the New Mexico film set.
“I did not hear you take accountability … You said you were sorry, but not you were sorry for what you did,” the judge told the courtroom.
“It was your attorney that had to tell the court you were remorseful,” she added. “The word remorse, a deep regret coming from a sense of guilt for past wrongs, that’s not you.”
“I find that what you did constitutes a serious violent offense,” the judge continued. “It was committed in a physically violent manner … I am sentencing you to 18 months of incarceration at a women’s correctional facility in New Mexico.”

Before hearing the sentence, Gutierrez-Reed pleaded with the judge to release her, stating she’s not a “monster” and said she was “young and naive” when she started the job.
“I understand she was taken too soon,” Gutierrez-Reed said, while reading her statement and becoming emotional.
Earlier this year, a 12-member jury came back with a guilty verdict after finding the movie weapons supervisor responsible, in part, for Hutchins’s death, <a href="https://twitter.com/AP/status/1765528427455557904">The Associated Press</a> reported. The jury found she was not guilty of tampering with evidence, which was the second charge Gutierrez-Reed had faced.
After the verdict was read, defense attorney Jason Bowles said they would appeal the decision, <a href="https://people.com/rust-armorer-hannah-gutierrez-reed-guilty-halyna-hutchins-shooting-death-involuntary-manslaughter-8597605?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=12201163-20240306&amp;utm_campaign=ppl-breakingnews_relationship-builder&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=030624&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc">People magazine</a> reported. Both Gutierrez-Reed and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sag-aftra-defends-alec-baldwin-in-rust-shooting-as-actor-prepares-to-defend-himself-against-new-charge">Baldwin</a> were charged in the fatal shooting that left Hutchins dead and injured director Joel Souza.
In January, a grand jury indicted Baldwin for involuntary manslaughter following the fatal shooting, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alec-baldwin-enters-plea-in-rust-shooting-case">reported</a>. The firearm Baldwin was holding discharged the bullet that killed Hutchins. 
According to <a href="https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/alec-baldwin-manslaughter-rust-shooting-again-1235875855/">Variety</a>, special prosecutors Morrissey and Jason Lewis presented a report to the grand jury showing that the shooting occurred by a “pull or rearward depression of the trigger.” Baldwin has repeatedly claimed there was “no trigger pull.”
On January 31, Baldwin entered a “not guilty” plea through his attorney and waived his right to an arraignment. His trial date is set for July 10. If convicted, he could spend up to 18 months in prison.

Legacy media outlets have drawn criticism over their framing of an incident in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/chicago" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago</a> where a 26-year-old man was killed by police after he fired at officers who had pulled him over for a traffic stop last month, according to an initial investigation and body camera footage.
Dexter Reed was killed after police pulled him over for a traffic stop in Chicago on March 21 after officers said he was not wearing a seatbelt. When officers attempted to speak with him, Reed locked himself in his vehicle and gunfire broke out leading officers to run away from the vehicle. According to the preliminary investigation from the civilian-operated Chicago Office of Police Accountability, Reed fired at the officers first, injuring one of them and shooting at least 11 times at them.
The police accountability report said that a &#8220;review of video footage and initial reports appears to confirm that Mr. Reed fired first, striking the officer and four officers returned fire.&#8221;
Footage released from the incident shows police officers walking up to Reed in his vehicle and asking him to roll down his windows. Reed does not immediately respond, but eventually, he does and an officer asks him what he is doing. He then locks the door and rolls up the window, ignoring the commands of the officer to unlock and open the door. Then gunfire breaks out and two officers can be seen running from the car for cover as they are shot at. Reed was killed after officers responded to the gunfire.

While much of the media coverage has focused on how many shots responding officers fired at Reed and complaints of excessive police force, little attention has been paid to indications that Reed fired at police first.
The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/04/10/dexter-reed-shooting-video-chicago-police/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> read, “Police fire 96 shots in 41 seconds, killing Black man during traffic stop,” the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/police-shooting-chicago-officers-investigation-ca147a5ea386e70190f23bd6912445f0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ran</a> with “Deadly Chicago traffic stop where police fired 96 shots raises serious questions about use of force,” and USA Today <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/09/seatbelt-check-cops-fired-96-shots-at-black-motorist-killing-him/73265324007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">had</a>, &#8220;Seat belt violation ends with Black man dead on Chicago street after cops fired nearly 100 bullets.”

The Post did not mention that investigators believe Reed fired first until the eighth paragraph while the AP leaves out that detail until the seventh paragraph.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Wednesday about the death of 31-year-old NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was shot and killed earlier this week allegedly by a career criminal, and Jean-Pierre used her answer to push for more gun control.
&#8220;Look, our hearts go out to this officer who tragically lost his life in the line of duty. We&#8217;re also praying for his family during this difficult time, who now has an empty seat at their dinner table,&#8221; the press secretary said. &#8220;President Biden is deeply grateful for the sacrifices police officers make to keep our communities safe. This shooting is yet another painful reminder of the toll of gun violence.&#8221;
Diller, a husband and father who had served three years on the force, was shot in the stomach while making a traffic stop Monday evening in Queens, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/25/us-news/nypd-cop-shot-in-chest-in-queens-rushed-to-hospital-sources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The suspect in the shooting death of the officer was identified as 34-year-old Guy Rivera, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car pulled over by Diller when he allegedly pulled out a handgun and fired at the officer. Rivera has 21 prior arrests and was released from prison in 2021 after serving five years for criminal possession of a controlled substance, according to the Post. He was also in prison from 2011 to 2014 for first-degree assault.
Jean-Pierre then touted Biden&#8217;s executive actions, along with work Congress has done, to push more gun control.
&#8220;Obviously, more work needs to be done. We need Congress to continue to act on making sure that our communities are safe, and again, our hearts go out to this officer and his family. It&#8217;s a difficult time for them.&#8221;

Lindy Jones, the driver of the vehicle pulled over by Diller, also has a lengthy criminal rap sheet and was arrested on gun charges last April. In 2003, Jones was convicted of attempted murder and robbery and spent ten years in prison before being released in 2013. Jones was arraigned on Wednesday and charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of a defaced firearm, ABC 7 reported.
Investigators said they believe Jones and Rivera were casing a T-Mobile store when Diller and another officer approached their vehicle to ask them to move from a bus stop where they were illegally parked. When the suspects were asked to roll down their windows, they refused, and Rivera allegedly fired a single shot at Diller, which hit him below his vest, according to authorities.
Rivera was shot in the back when the other officer returned fire. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital, where he remains in stable condition.

A 31-year-old New York City Police Department officer died Monday after he was reportedly shot by a career criminal during a traffic stop in Queens, according to law enforcement.
Jonathan Diller, a husband and father who had served three years on the force, conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle where a man identified as 34-year-old Guy Rivera was sitting in the passenger seat. As police attempted to get Rivera to vacate the car, he allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot Diller in the stomach, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/25/us-news/nypd-cop-shot-in-chest-in-queens-rushed-to-hospital-sources/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Witness Deon Peters told the Post that he saw Diller fall to the ground after being shot, yelling, “‘I’m hit, I’m hit!’”
Rivera “was asked to leave the car, he was given a lawful order numerous times to step out of the car, he refused,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. “And when the officer took him out of the car, instead of stepping out of the car, he shot our officer.”
The NYPD officer, a father to a one-year-old boy, was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at Jamaica Hospital.
“Tonight this city lost a hero, a wife lost her husband, and a young child lost their father,” NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban said. “We struggle to find the words to express the tragedy of losing one of our own. The work that Police Officer Jonathan Diller did each day to make this city a safer place will NEVER be forgotten. Our prayers are with his family, loved ones, and brothers and sisters in blue.”

Rivera, the suspect in the officer’s shooting death, has 21 prior arrests and was released from prison in 2021 after serving five years for criminal possession of a controlled substance, according to the Post. He was also in prison from 2011 to 2014 for first-degree assault. Rivera was shot in the back when police returned fire following the shooting. He was taken to Jamaica Hospital, where he remains in stable condition.
Lindy Jones, who was identified as the 41-year-old driver of the vehicle, also has a criminal record and was arrested on gun charges last April. In 2003, Jones was convicted of attempted murder and robbery and spent ten years in prison before being released in 2013.
“I can’t … say it any clearer: It is the good guys against the bad guys and these bad guys are violent,” said New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, adding that the shooting was another “senseless act of violence.”

“Officer Jonathan Diller was just doing his job in Queens, working to keep his fellow New Yorkers safe, and a senseless act of violence took his life — a senseless act carried out by a dangerous individual with a gun and a total disregard for our people in uniform,” Adams <a href="https://twitter.com/NYCMayor/status/1772456144121811323" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>. “Let us come together in this devastating moment and pray for his family and our fellow officers.”
Adams addressed Jones’ prior arrest and said it represents “not a crime problem, but a recidivist problem.”
“Same bad people doing bad things to good people,” Adams said.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chiefs-kicker-fulfills-wish-from-family-of-super-bowl-parade-shooting-victim" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harrison Butker</a> pushed back on the narrative blaming guns for the shooting that rocked this year&#8217;s Super Bowl victory parade in his home city. Instead, he attributed the rise in violent crime to a growing lack of fathers in the home.
Butler made the comments during a recent interview with &#8220;EWTN News In Depth,&#8221; where he explained that a lack of good parenting, particularly from fathers, was spilling from homes into the streets as young men — and increasingly, young women as well — are resorting to violent outbursts to solve disputes.

&#8220;I know gun violence was a big discussion, but at the end of the day, this is degenerate violence and it should not be occurring,&#8221; the kicker explained. &#8220;I think we need strong fathers in the home. I think we need men that are leading, that are setting good examples, that are teaching the young men in our society that violence is not the way to handle our disputes.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s very unfortunate what happened. Unfortunately, many, many children were injured. A beautiful, young lady was killed over someone getting offended and turning to violence to handle that dispute,&#8221; Butker continued, referencing the shooting in Kansas City directly. &#8220;It’s so sad. I don’t think guns are the issue. I think we need fathers in the home that are being great examples for our youth.&#8221;

One woman was killed and a number of others — including several children — were injured in the crossfire.
Officials reported that in the aftermath of the shooting, two juveniles have been arrested and detained, and three men were charged with federal gun crimes.

A 26-year-old suspect was arrested on Saturday after he allegedly shot and killed three people in Falls Township, Pennsylvania, and stole a vehicle at gunpoint before barricading himself inside a home with others. Those in the home with the suspected shooter safely made it outside while the suspect remained inside, according to police.
The suspect, who is not being named in accordance with Daily Wire policy, was later apprehended while he was walking on a Trenton, New Jersey, street, police said, according to <a href="https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/falls-township-shootings-pennsylvania-03-16-24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>. After the alleged shooter barricaded himself in a Trenton home, police and a SWAT team set up a perimeter around the house.
&#8220;However, apparently, before the perimeter was completed, the suspect was able to get out of the location unseen. However, our information was that he was still in there,&#8221; said Trenton Police Director Steve Wilson.
Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora said police found the suspect two blocks from the home, and &#8220;he cooperated and gave his identity to police themselves.&#8221;
Police believe the suspect knew each of the three victims that he allegedly killed. Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn said the alleged shooter killed his 52-year-old stepmother and 13-year-old sister before he then killed the 25-year-old mother of his two children at a different residence.
Residents of Falls Township, which is just a few miles south of Trenton, were told to shelter in place as authorities searched for the suspect. The shelter-in-place order for Falls Township was lifted after police found the suspect in Trenton.
“We are investigating a spree killing that took place in the township this morning,” Jeff Dence, chairman of the Falls Township Board of Supervisors, told CNN. “It is domestic related. Three people were killed at two different residences.”
Officers were first called to Viewpoint Lane in Levittown just before 9:00 a.m. Saturday where police said the suspect shot and killed two people who lived at the residence, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/active-shooter-reported-falls-township-pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a>. Just minutes later, he allegedly went to a home on Edgewood Lane, where he shot and killed another person. The suspect then allegedly carjacked a person at gunpoint in a Dollar General parking lot before driving to Trenton. Police said that he did not know the carjacking victim, and the victim was not injured.
Police added that the suspect is “believed to be currently homeless and has ties to the Trenton, New Jersey, area.” He is considered to be “extremely dangerous.”

“He is believed to be in possession of an assault rifle which he used to commit these crimes. It is believed that the suspect may be in possession of additional weapons,” the Falls Township Police said in a statement.
The stolen vehicle was located and unoccupied on Miller Street in Trenton before police and a SWAT team surrounded the home where the suspect is believed to be barricaded with hostages.

Suspected Shooter Apprehended After Allegedly Killing 3, Barricading Inside Home

The local sheriff&#8217;s office could have taken the gunman who carried out a deadly shooting in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/maine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maine</a> last fall into custody before the shooting happened, a review of the incident has found.
A commission reviewing the events around the October 25 shooting, which left 18 people dead in Lewiston, Maine, concluded that local law enforcement could have taken the shooter into protective custody and seized his weapons prior to the shooting.
The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Office &#8220;had probable cause to believe that [the shooter] posed a likelihood of serious harm,&#8221; the seven-member commission said in its preliminary <a href="https://www.maine.gov/icl/sites/maine.gov.icl/files/2024-03/Commission%20Interim%20Report%203-15-24.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> released on Friday.
The commission said it found unanimously that the sheriff&#8217;s office had &#8220;sufficient probable cause to take [the shooter] into protective custody under Maine’s Yellow Flag law and to remove his firearms and that the SCSO had probable cause to believe that [he] posed a likelihood of serious harm.&#8221;
Maine&#8217;s yellow flag law allows police to strip weapons from people who are deemed to pose a risk.
Before the shooting, the shooter, an army reservist, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/15/us/maine-shooting-report.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> behaved increasingly erratically and was paranoid and believed strangers were calling him a pedophile. He was sent for a mental health evaluation by his Army Reserve colleagues and supervisors last summer. Family members raised concerns as well. However, attempts to take away his firearms were not successful.
He was found dead by a self-inflicted gunshot wound two days after his deadly rampage.

The shooter &#8220;is solely responsible for his own conduct, and he may have committed a mass shooting even if the guns he possessed in September 2023 were removed from his house,” the report stated. “Nevertheless, there were several opportunities that, if taken, may have changed the course of events.”
The report points the finger specifically at Sergeant Aaron Skolfield, who responded to a report that the shooter was suffering from some sort of mental health crisis and had recently assaulted a friend.
Skolfield &#8220;should have realized that he had probable cause to start the Yellow Flag process&#8221; for the shooter, but instead he made &#8220;limited attempts&#8221; to get an in-person meeting with him, failed to consult a previous complaint about the shooter, failed to contact the individual who was assaulted by him and had heard him threaten to shoot up the Saco Armory, and failed to ask for help from prosecutors or other law enforcement agencies.
The mass shooting was the deadliest in Maine&#8217;s history.

Sheriff Had Cause To Take Maine Shooter Into Custody Beforehand, Review Finds

A 36-year-old man is in critical condition after being shot in the head on a New York City subway when a fight broke out between him and a 32-year-old man on Thursday.
The incident, which appeared to begin when the 36-year-old black man began berating the 32-year-old man while riding the northbound A train around 4:45 p.m., according to Michael Kemper, the Police Department’s Chief of Transit, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/14/nyregion/subway-shooting-brooklyn.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Video <a href="https://twitter.com/lattinabrown/status/1768430156710904302?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">footage</a> of the incident showed the 36-year-old black man, yelling at the other man, “I’ll beat you up!” before getting in his face and saying, “F*** your race. F*** your kind. F*** you.”
Shortly after the two men got into the verbal tussle, they squared up, causing subway passengers around them to move to a different area of the train. “There’s babies on here!” one woman shouted as the men began to fight. The 36-year-old man eventually pushed the other man down onto a seat and punched him several times before a woman attempted to stop him from delivering any more blows.
The fight was briefly broken up when another man, along with the woman, stepped in between the two men. The video showed blood on the back of the 36-year-old man, who asked if the other man had stabbed him. The 36-year-old continued to move toward the other man and eventually pulled out a handgun, causing passengers to scramble toward the other end of the train with some people screaming, “Get down! Get down!” and “Let me out!”
Multiple gunshots then rang out, but the video doesn’t show the shooting as the person recording runs off the train when it comes to a stop. Police said the 32-year-old man wrestled the firearm away from the other man before shooting him and was arrested on the scene, The New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/03/14/us-news/video-shows-moments-before-brooklyn-subway-shooting/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The 36-year-old man was rushed to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in critical condition.
As of Thursday evening, Chief Kemper said it remained unclear if the 32-year-old man would face any charges or if his actions were in self-defense.
“The victim here, as the chief said, appears to be the aggressor,” said Janno Lieber, the transit authority’s chief executive. “But the real victims are the people I saw in those videos, who are having a harrowing time because they’re on a train with somebody with a gun.”
The shooting came just a week after Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) deployed National Guard troops and state troopers to the Big Apple’s subways to check passengers’ bags. The city also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-to-bring-back-bag-searches-surge-1000-officers-into-subway-system" target="_blank" rel="noopener">increased</a> its police presence in subways in hopes of deterring would-be criminals.

&#8220;Rust&#8221; armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed on Wednesday was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico film set.
After just three hours of deliberation, the 12-member jury came back with a guilty verdict after finding the movie weapons supervisor responsible, in part, for Hutchins&#8217;s death, The <a href="https://twitter.com/AP/status/1765528427455557904">Associated Press</a> reported. The jury found she was not guilty of tampering with evidence, which was the second charge Gutierrez-Reed faced.
After the verdict was read, defense attorney Jason Bowles said they would appeal the decision, <a href="https://people.com/rust-armorer-hannah-gutierrez-reed-guilty-halyna-hutchins-shooting-death-involuntary-manslaughter-8597605?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=12201163-20240306&amp;utm_campaign=ppl-breakingnews_relationship-builder&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=030624&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc">People magazine</a> reported.

A jury convicted a movie weapons supervisor of involuntary manslaughter on Wednesday in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal on the set of the Western movie “Rust.” <a href="https://t.co/ohDdtswnBC">pic.twitter.com/ohDdtswnBC</a>

Following the verdict, the judge ordered that Gutierrez-Reed be remanded into custody. She faces up to 18 months in prison following the conviction. A date for sentencing has yet to be set.
Prosecutor Kari Morrissey said in closing arguments that &#8220;the astonishing lack of diligence with regard to gun safety is without question a significant cause of the death of Halyna Hutchins,&#8221; <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/rust-armorer-trial-hannah-gutierrez-closing-arguments/story?id=107852849">ABC News reported.</a>
&#8220;This is not a case where Hannah Gutierrez made one mistake, and that one mistake was accidental &#8212; putting a live round into that gun,&#8221; Morrissey added. &#8220;This case is about constant, neverending, safety failures that resulted in the death of a human being and nearly killed another.&#8221;
During his closing arguments, Bowles labeled Gutierrez-Reed a &#8220;convenient fall person&#8221; and accused detectives of failing to conduct a thorough investigation, People magazine noted.
Both Gutierrez-Reed and actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sag-aftra-defends-alec-baldwin-in-rust-shooting-as-actor-prepares-to-defend-himself-against-new-charge">Alec Baldwin</a> were charged in the fatal shooting that left Hutchins dead and injured director Joel Souza.
In January, a grand jury indicted Baldwin for involuntary manslaughter following the fatal shooting, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alec-baldwin-enters-plea-in-rust-shooting-case">reported</a>. The firearm Baldwin was holding discharged the bullet that killed Hutchins.

According to <a href="https://variety.com/2024/biz/news/alec-baldwin-manslaughter-rust-shooting-again-1235875855/">Variety</a>, special prosecutors Morrissey and Jason Lewis presented a report to the grand jury showing that the shooting occurred by a &#8220;pull or rearward depression of the trigger.&#8221; Baldwin has repeatedly claimed there was &#8220;no trigger pull.&#8221;
On January 31, Baldwin entered a &#8220;not guilty&#8221; plea through his attorney and waived his right to an arraignment. His trial date is set for July. If convicted, he could spend up to 18 months in prison.
