Summary

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot in a targeted attack outside a New York Hilton hotel, with investigators describing the killing as meticulously planned.

The gunman fled on foot, then by rental bike, and possibly left the city via bus. Shell casings at the scene had words like “deny” and “defend” inscribed, hinting at a motive linked to Thompson’s work.

Experts suggest the shooter may have military or weapons experience but left key clues, including surveillance footage and discarded items.

Police are analyzing evidence, including DNA, to identify the suspect.

      I wonder if he is terminal and pulled the trigger on some recompense for his denial of treatment.

      Nope; how many of those god damn movies do they need to make? How does Jigsaw keep coming up with new methods of torture?

        I don’t know. I stopped watching with The Final Chapter. And then they came back with 3 or 4 more after that.

        VI involved health insurance executives who are directly responsible for countless deaths going through the “games”.

        I just watched a compilation of all the deaths a few months back. That’s all you really remember afterwards anyway (first movie excluded, which was actually pretty good)
