UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot dead by a masked gunman in front of a New York hotel. Shell casings found at the scene had words like “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” on them. The killing was described as a “premeditated, preplanned targeted attack” and Thompson did not have any personal security despite known threats against him. The shooter, who remains at large, fired at Thompson as he walked down the street, hitting him in the back and calf before fleeing the scene. Security footage captured the attack, showing Thompson being shot from behind and falling to the ground. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
