A movie set weapons handler who loaded a gun for actor Alec Baldwin before it fired and killed a cinematographer has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found not guilty of a second charge - tampering with evidence over the 2021 shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.
The 26-year-old faces up to 18 months in jail. She will be sentenced later.
Mr Baldwin, 65, also faces a manslaughter trial in July.
Ms Hutchins, 42, was killed after a gun Mr Baldwin used in a rehearsal fired a live round on the set of the Western in New Mexico.
A lawyer for Mr Baldwin said Gutierrez-Reed's sentencing was "very positive" for her client's upcoming case.
He could not have foreseen that there was a live round on set because the "safety, maintenance and care of the firearm and the ammunition" was the responsibility of the armourer, Misty Marris told CNN.
How the Alec Baldwin fatal film set shooting unfolded Jurors deliberated for three hours before returning Wednesday's verdict.
Gutierrez-Reed remained expressionless as she learned her fate.
As she was led away by two officers she told her weeping mother, "It'll be OK," according to Reuters.
Ms Hutchins' parents and her sister said they were "satisfied" with the verdict.
