UnitedHealthcare CEO's Murder Suspect Identified and Detained

Police apprehend a man linked to the targeted killing of Brian Thompson, as backlash against health insurers intensifies online.

Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a Manhattan hotel last week.
The suspect, identified as Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old former Ivy League student, was detained in Pennsylvania with a gun and manifesto critical of the healthcare industry.
Bullet casings at the scene bore words like 'deny,' 'defend,' and 'depose,' echoing criticisms of health insurance claim practices.
Public sentiment online has highlighted bipartisan frustration with the healthcare system, with some expressing sympathy for the attacker's motives while condemning violence.
The incident has raised concerns about executive security, with companies reassessing protective measures for high-profile leaders.
