A jury has convicted a movie weapons supervisor of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin during a rehearsal on the set of the Western movie Rust. The verdict against movie armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed assigned new blame in the fatal October 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after an assistant director last year pleaded no contest to negligent handling of a firearm. Gutierrez-Reed also had faced a second charge of tampering with evidence, stemming from accusations that she handed a small bag of possible narcotics to another cre...

Before actor and producer Alec Baldwin faces a jury, armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed will first go on trial over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.

Baldwin, the lead actor and a co-producer on the Western movie, was pointing a gun at Hutchins during a rehearsal outside Santa Fe in October 2021 when the gun went off, killing her and wounding director...

A grand jury has indicted Alec Baldwin on an involuntary manslaughter charge in the 2021 fatal shooting during a rehearsal on a movie set in New Mexico, reviving a dormant case against the actor. Special prosecutors brought the case before a grand jury in Santa Fe this week, months after receiving a new analysis of the gun that was used. They declined to answer questions after spending about a day and a half presenting their case to the grand jury. Defence attorneys for Baldwin indicate they'll fight the charge, which carries a potential prison sentence of up to 18 months. “We look forward to ...

An Italian lawmaker is currently under investigation after bringing a loaded gun to a New Year’s Eve party in the town of Rosazza, in northern Italy, which fired a shot that injured a 31-year-old man.

Pozzolo, 38, claimed that the shot was fired by the same man who got injured, whom he said picked up the gun from ...

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden called for further gun restrictions following shootings that occurred throughout the nation over Independence Day weekend. Shootings in Philadelphia, Fort Worth, Texas, and Baltimore have left at least nine people dead and dozens severely injured. As of a study conducted in mid-June, the U.S. has seen the most mass killings and deaths up to that point in just a year. Last Fourth of July, a gunman in Highland Park, Illinois, used an assault rifle to kill seven people during a parade. Following the tragedy, state lawmakers have been working to prevent further mass...

Three states have taken measurable steps this week to regulate the firearm industry in their states—an effort to curb gun violence in the United States. The three states—Washington, Colorado and soon Maryland—all have governments controlled by Democrats and consequently have more flexibility to shape firearm policies in their states. In Washington, Gov. Jay Inslee (D) and the legislature have completed a three-part package of gun reforms. Perhaps most consequentially, the package bans 61 different rifles and pistols that are classified as “assault weapons,” including the AR-15. Washington is t...

The new GOP-controlled House Rules Committee, brought about by the 2022 midterm elections in which Republicans retook the House of Representatives, removed a provision from the previously Democrat-controlled House which banned firearms in hearing rooms and committees. The House Natural Resources Committee, which held its first meeting last Wednesday, quickly became hostile as its Republican members defeated an amendment by its Democratic members to ban firearms from the committee’s hearing room. Rep. Jared Huffman (D-California) proposed the measure, arguing that it’s a “major issue of safety ...
