A deadly shooting on a Manhattan sidewalk has left the chief executive of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, dead. Law enforcement officials revealed that the gunman used ammunition marked with the ominous words “deny, defend, and depose.” These terms are reportedly associated with strategies employed by insurance companies to refuse patient coverage. The shooter, whose motive remains unclear, also used a silencer on his weapon, according to the Associated Press.
As the investigation continues, police have released surveillance footage showing a man they suspect to be the gunman inside a hostel on the Upper West Side before the incident. Additional video evidence depicts the suspect exiting two parked cars and opening fire on Thompson while he was en route to a Midtown hotel for an investor conference.
Authorities are actively working to identify the shooter and understand the motive behind this tragic event. The public has been urged to provide any information that might assist in the ongoing investigation.
