New York City Mayor Eric Adams personally greeted Luigi Mangione, the suspected shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, upon his arrival in New York. Adams explained that his intention was to confront Mangione directly, stating, 'I’m not going to just allow him into the city. I wanted to look him in the eye and say you carried out this terroristic act in my city, the city that the people of New York love.' This encounter occurred as Mangione was extradited from Pennsylvania to face charges in New York, including first-degree murder, terrorism-related counts, and firearms offenses. Adams aimed to send a strong message of leadership and solidarity with the city's residents in the wake of the shooting, which he noted had deeply affected the healthcare industry.
