Man in custody had a gun, mask and writings tying him to killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO, police say

NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say a "strong person of interest" in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been arrested. Thompson died in a dawn ambush Wednesday as he walked to the company's annual investor conference from his hotel. Officials say the 26-year-old suspect had a gun believed to be the one used in the killing and writings suggesting his anger with corporate America. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny identified the suspect as Luigi Nicholas Mangione, who was being held in Pennsylvania on gun charges. He was taken into custody after police got a tip that he was eating at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
