Authorities in Altoona, Pennsylvania, are questioning a 26-year-old man in connection with last week's murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City. The suspect was detained on Monday after customers at a local McDonald's thought he looked suspicious and alerted police. He was found with multiple fake IDs and a gun equipped with a suppressor similar to the one used in the assassination-style killing in front of a Midtown Manhattan hotel.
