Police have revealed that Luigi Mangione, 26, the suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York last week, was not a client of the insurer. Investigators believe Mangione targeted the company due to its size and influence in the health care industry. It has been reported that Mangione considered using a bomb but decided against it to protect innocent people. Prosecutors are presenting evidence to a grand jury seeking an indictment against Mangione, following his arrest after a week-long manhunt. In the wake of the killing, companies are tightening security measures, with some executives advising employees to work from home. Thompson was laid to rest during a private funeral on Monday.
