So On Wednesday, the chief executive of UnitedHealth's insurance arm, according to the Wall Street Journal, was fatally shot outside a hotel in New York City. It was a targeted attack, according to the police. There is, in fact, video of the attack.
We're not going to show it here on the show because it's fairly graphic. This obviously appears to be a professional hit. The person who was killed, again, his name was Brian Thompson, who's the CEO of UnitedHealth. He is walking past the shooter. The shooter seems to emerge from the shadows, shoots him, shoots him again, calmly, walks by him and appears to shoot him a third time.
The suspect has not yet been identified, fled on foot after the shooting outside a Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan around 6.45 a.m. Apparently, the suspect rode an e-bike to Central Park, and that's the last place that the suspect was seen. Police said that this was obviously a planned attack. They don't actually know why.
Here is Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch explaining this was not, in fact, a random act of violence.
This does not appear to be a random act of violence. The victim was in New York City to speak at an investor conference. It appears the suspect was lying in wait for several minutes. And as the victim was walking to the conference hotel, the suspect approached from behind and fired several rounds, striking the victim at least once in the back and at least once in the right calf.
I want to be clear. At this time, every indication is that this was a premeditated, preplanned, targeted attack.
And clearly it wasn't a robbery because the guy didn't even rifle the body. Apparently the gun jammed. You can actually see this happen in the video. The gun jams during the attack and the shooter then proceeds to rack the slide in order to clear the jams. This is somebody who knew what they were doing, at least on a very basic level.
And apparently if you just get away with it, then, you know, this person had this planned out pretty well. Apparently Paulette Thompson, his wife, told NBC News there had been some threats against Brian Thompson. She said, basically, I don't know, lack of coverage. I don't know details. I know that he said there were people that had been threatening
