Luigi Mangione latest: UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect ‘considered bombing Manhattan’
Luigi Mangione is said to have considered using a bomb in Manhattan in his alleged plot to kill the UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, sources say.
A “to-do list” found inside a spiral notebook was apparently gleaned along with the shooting suspect’s 262-page manifesto, a ghost gun and false ID cards upon his arrest at an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Monday.
Mangione, 26, reportedly decided against using the bomb as it “could kill innocents” and instead opted for a more targeted approach, allegedly musing what could be better “to kill the CEO at his own bean counting conference,” according to a CNN.
The suspect faced an extradition hearing Tuesday in Pennsylvania after New York prosecutors charged him with second-degree murder in connection with last week’s brazen killing in Midtown Manhattan.
