Person detained in manhunt for United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murderer

What do you think? Is this for real, or a setup?

FOX NEWS

A source with knowledge of the investigation into the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson told Fox News that a person fitting the suspect’s description has been taken into custody at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa.

The person has a similar gun to the one used in the shooting last Wednesday, the source added.

Police tell Fox News that a person at the McDonald’s recognized the individual from the wanted posters of the suspect and then alerted law enforcement.

When police arrived, they spotted the person and found a weapon — believed to be the one used in the murder — in his pocket, along with a fake ID, according to police.

“The eyebrows match,” another police source told Fox News regarding the appearance of the individual.

The man was sitting and working on a laptop in the Altoona McDonald’s when he was spotted, the source continued, revealing that the suspect in Thompson’s murder was also spotted doing the same thing at a McDonald’s location in New York City.

    From National Review:

    Luigi Mangione, 26, of Towson, Md., was stopped in Altoona, Pa., on Monday. The detained suspect had with him a handwritten manifesto that criticized the health care industry for prioritizing profits, according to law enforcement.

    Carrying a fake New Jersey ID, Mangione was on a Greyhound bus before he walked into a McDonald’s in the morning, where he was recognized by an individual who alerted police. The man had in his possession a gun similar to the one used in Thompson’s murder, sources told ABC News.

    New York Police Department detectives are en route to Pennsylvania where they are questioning the suspect, whose recovered ID matches one used by the assassin hours before the shooting, authorities said. Police have obtained writings critical of the insurance industry and a computer from the suspect, the Associated Press reported, and have not charged Mangione.

    Mangione, a tech aficionado, has an anti-capitalist online presence. The suspect was valedictorian in 2016 of his high school house at the Gilman School in Baltimore, an all-boys prep academy, and has two degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.
