A man with a gun thought to be similar to the one used in the killing of Brian Thompson was taken into police custody, an AP source says.

Summary

Luigi Nicholas Mangione, 26, was charged with murder in the shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan.

Mangione, an Ivy League graduate, was arrested in Altoona, PA, after a tip from a McDonald’s customer.

Authorities found a 3D-printed pistol, writings expressing anger at corporate America, and $10,000 in cash.

Thompson was killed during an ambush last week, shaking the business world and sparking corporate security concerns.

Mangione is being held without bail and will be extradited to New York. Investigators credit public tips and surveillance footage for the arrest.

    Are they trying to imply that they actually thought about it once? I mean they’re cops… how can we be expected to believe that they actually thought?
