Police arrest a person of interest
Investigation of a New York City CEO shot in the head at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on Monday morning
As praise poured in for the act of violent vigilantism, some companies removed the biographical information and photos of their executive leadership from their websites.
Police have made an arrest in the fatal shooting of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Mangione, of Maryland, was detained at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania on Monday morning.
Mangione reportedly had a gun, a silencer, and four fake IDs in his possession. The gun appeared to be a 3D-printed “ghost gun,” Kenny told reporters. After being apprehended, Mangione showed police a fake New Jersey ID, Kenny said. The same ID used to check into the Manhattan hostel eight days before the shooting was used to check into that same hostel on November 24th. The New York Post reported that he had a book that criticized the US healthcare industry.
During a press conference involving the NYPD and the mayor of New York, police said an employee at a Mcdonald’s in Pennsylvania recognized Mangione from photos that had been made public by police.
Police in New York called Thompson’s murder a brazen, targeted murder. Mangione was taken into custody this morning at a fast food restaurant on unrelated charges.

A person with online records says that a person with bachelor’s and master’s of science degrees is an app developer. There are two accounts that show that Mangione is a co-owner of AppRoarr Studios. AppRoarr did not respond immediately to the request for comment.
Ted Kaczynski wrote an anti-technology essay in the book, Industrial Society and Its Future, and in a review on the website it was said it was easy to quickly and thoughtless write it off. But it’s simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.”
In the aftermath of the shooting, some vocal critics of the U.S. health care system expressed that the shooter’s actions could have been the inevitable outcome of a system that prioritizes profits over people’s well-being.
The images of the suspected shooter mask down and smiling in the camera footage, which were posted on social media as a modern-day folk hero, were used to promote the idea of a system rife with corruption.
The police were led to Mangione through old-school detective work and new age technology. “We deployed drones, K9 units, and scuba divers. We used domain awareness and argos cameras to conduct aviation canvases.

Three bullets recovered from the scene of the shooting had “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” written on them in permanent marker, two police officials told the Associated Press last week. Police later clarified that one of the bullets had “delay” written on it, not “defend.” The words are reminiscent of Delay, Deny, Defend: What Insurance Companies Don’t Pay Claims and What You Can Do About It, the title of a 2010 book by Rutgers Law professor Jay M. Feinman.
