The Class of 2016 is truly defined by its inventive, pioneering mentality that accompanies a strong commitment to Gilman tradition. Just like we've done these past few years, we'll be exploring the unknown, whether that be attending colleges across the country, traveling the world during gap years, or fulfilling military service in foreign countries. As we embrace the new, however, we won't forget the old. Our friendships, values, and memories from Gilman will always stay with us.
just six months before the shooting. Luigi Mangione was having the time of his life traveling through Asia and sharing his experiences by posting on social media.
There is a very real sense of traveling as an adventurer rather than as a tourist. So I'm here in the mountains in Nara, and it's beautiful, man. I think I want to stay here for like a month and just meditate. and just hot spring and do some writing. I want some time to zen out.
38 with some sunshine now in the city. Mostly cloudy today and a high of 41.
For the shooter, the morning starts at 530 in the morning when he leaves the hostel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan at 104th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.
Mostly cloudy today and a high of 41. It'll be gusty.
The city was about to come alive for the day. It was a routine Wednesday. It was a clear morning. It was cold out. And you see this shooter walking up 54th Street wearing a hood that was up. He had a mask on in the vicinity of the Hilton on 54th Street.
Sixth Avenue this time of year. You probably don't have a more trafficked or highly populated part of Manhattan or New York, except for Times Square. We're talking about a couple of blocks away from Rockefeller Center with the famous Christmas tree. Right near there, you have Radio City Music Hall, famous for its Christmas show. Hilton itself is a busy, busy place. That morning, UnitedHealthcare was having an investor conference.
So it's about an hour of the shooter making his way around this small slice of midtown Manhattan. He goes to a Starbucks and gets a snack and a bottle of water. He walks west a block. He then walks east a block. He's clearly passing time as he waits for Brian Thompson to make his appearance.
Brian Thompson, who's the chief executive of United Healthcare, crosses Sixth Avenue. He came to the Hilton Hotel where he was going to present about an hour later at an investor conference. And as soon as the suspect sees Thompson, that's when he begins to spring into action.
At 6.44 in the morning, you see Mr. Thompson walking down the block from his hotel to the Hilton.
He's dressed in a blue suit. He does not have any security detail with him. He's all by himself, does not seem to be aware that he's in terrible danger.
There are cameras everywhere. There are people everywhere. Even at 6, 7 in the morning, there are people.
After he gets the water bottle and the kind bar from the Starbucks, he takes position and then holds up in the pre-dawn dark and he sees Brian Thompson.
New York is a connected city. We know that there are cameras. We know there are thousands, tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of cameras all around New York City.
In this case, using cameras was going to be critical. It was going to be crucial to figuring out who the person is who committed this crime.
The first video that we get, which is the most sensational of the videos, is of the actual shooting.
You see Brian Thompson walking past the area where the shooter is located. The shooter comes up behind him. It appears that it may be 10 or 12 feet behind Brian Thompson. The shooter fires three times. It seems that the gun jammed several times in between the shots. And that's going to be very, very important down the road for police investigating the crime.
