UnitedHealthcare CEO Killed with 3D-Printed Gun; Suspect Luigi Mangione Arrested in Pennsylvania
Dec 12, 2024, 12:01 PM
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in Manhattan, with authorities alleging that 26-year-old Luigi Mangione carried out the assassination using a "ghost gun" created with 3D printing technology. Mangione was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where he was found in possession of the untraceable weapon, which matched shell casings from the crime scene. Fingerprints matching Mangione's were also found on a water bottle near the scene. Investigators report that Mangione had planned the murder in detail, documenting his intentions in a journal. Prior to his arrest, a hotel clerk described him as 'cagey' when he sought a room. The murder has sparked public outrage toward the health insurance industry, with "Wanted" posters of corporate executives appearing in Manhattan. Authorities are concerned about potential copycat crimes due to the accessibility of 3D-printed firearms.
