Quick Glance: 'Rust' Armorer Sentenced to 18 Months in Fatal Shooting
- Former 'Rust' movie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by the New Mexico District Court Judge.
- The incident that shocked the film industry is believed to mark the first instance in recent history of a member of a film crew or cast being fatally injured by a live round mistakenly loaded into a firearm.
- Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July 10 following his indictment for involuntary manslaughter in January.
- Initially, Hutchins' death led to a halt in the use of real firearms and blank ammunition by US film and television productions, but many have resumed usage due to the authenticity they provide.

Quick Glance: Prince Harry Officially Residing in U.S.
- Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have considered California home, and now his official residency in the U.S. has been documented in a corporate filing.
- The document was filed at Britain’s corporate registrar, Companies House, to update the official residency of the British royal for business records of Travalyst Limited.
- There had been little official confirmation of Harry’s residency status until this week, with an entry indicating a change of residency to June 29, 2023, the day the couple left Frogmore Cottage, their British home.
- It is unclear what type of U.S. visa or residency permit Harry holds, despite efforts by conservative activists in the U.S. to ascertain them, including an ongoing lawsuit.
