SANTA FE \u2013 The woman who oversaw the use of weapons on the movie set where Alec Baldwin fatally shot a cinematographer<\/a> has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence, New Mexico court officials said.<\/p>\n

Movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed waived her right to an arraignment on the charges in the 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins<\/a> on the set of the Western movie \u201cRust,\u201d officials said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

A state district judge tentatively scheduled a trial for December.<\/p>\n

A defense attorney for Gutierrez-Reed has characterized it a tragic accident and says the weapons specialist committed no crime. Prosecutors allege Gutierrez-Reed was negligent in the handling of firearms and ammunition on the set.<\/p>\n

\u201cRust\u201d safety coordinator and assistant director David Halls<\/a> has pleaded no contest to a charge of unsafe handling of a firearm and received a suspended sentence of six months\u2019 probation.<\/p>\n

In April, prosecutors dropped charges against Baldwin, who was pointing a gun at Hutchins when it went off, killing her and injuring director Joel Souza.<\/p>\n
