Luigi Mangione Arrested in Pennsylvania for CEO's Murder Using Ghost Gun
Dec 11, 2024, 09:00 AM
Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate from a wealthy Maryland family, has been arrested on December 11th and charged with the December 4th murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City. Mangione was apprehended on Monday at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after an employee recognized him and alerted authorities. He is believed to have used a ghost gun—a homemade, untraceable firearm often produced with 3D printers—in the shooting. Law enforcement officials are investigating a manifesto allegedly written by Mangione, suggesting he was inspired by the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. As he entered court in Pennsylvania for an extradition hearing, Mangione shouted at the media, declaring his case "an insult to the intelligence of the American people." His defense lawyer, Thomas Dickey, stated that Mangione intends to plead not guilty and is opposing extradition to New York. Governor Josh Shapiro condemned Mangione's actions as "vigilante justice," calling him a "coward, not a hero." The incident has sparked controversy online, with some individuals portraying Mangione as a folk hero and merchandise related to him appearing on e-commerce sites, prompting companies like Amazon to remove such items. Authorities are concerned about the potential glorification of violence and have warned corporate executives to be vigilant.
