Masked Shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO Arrested in Pennsylvania

In a shocking turn of events, a 26-year-old man named Luigi Mangione has been arrested in connection with the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of Manhattan. The shooting occurred on December 4, and Mangione’s identity was revealed after a McDonald’s employee in Pennsylvania spotted someone who resembled the shooter.

Background Check Reveals Unlikely Suspect

Mangione’s background is a mix of both impressive and concerning. Prior to his arrest, he had worked as a UI Programming intern at Firaxis Games, the developer behind the popular Civilization series. He also co-founded Upgrade, a video game development club at the University of Pennsylvania, and graduated from UPenn in 2020 with a combined master’s and bachelor’s degree in computer science.

Gun and Fake IDs Found on Arrested Suspect

When Mangione was apprehended, he was carrying a “ghost gun” – a firearm without a serial number that may have been made using 3D printed parts. Additionally, he was found with multiple fake IDs and a handwritten manifesto that criticized health care companies for prioritizing profits over care.

Charges and Investigation Ongoing

Mangione was initially charged with forgery, carrying a gun without a license, falsely identifying himself to authorities, and possessing “instruments of crime.” Later, he was charged with murder in connection with Thompson’s killing. Authorities are still investigating the motives behind the shooting and are working to determine if there are any additional charges to be filed.

Update: Mangione Charged with Murder

As of December 9, Mangione has been officially charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The additional charges bring new attention to the case and highlight the seriousness of the allegations against the suspect.
