WEBVTT - Special Report: Suspect Arrested in UnitedHealthcare CEO Murder

0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:04.439
<v Speaker 1>This is breaking new loose from Blomberg.

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 2>We have a strong person of interest in the shooting

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:19.160
<v Speaker 2>that shook our city last week. The CEO, Brian Thompson

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 2>of United Healthcare was the victim of a senseless act

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 2>of violence.

0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 3>We've been listening to a news conference including the Mayor

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 3>of New York City, Eric Adams, the NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tish,

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 3>and we're just listening to a question and answer session

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 3>with an NYPD's Chief of Detectives, Joseph Kinney, after the

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 3>NYPD has identified a person of interest in the killing

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 3>of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson days ago, identifying

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Luigi Mangioni, a twenty six year old born and raised

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 3>in Maryland, according to authorities, with no prior arrest record,

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 3>has been taken into custody in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where according

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 3>to the NYPD, he will be facing un charges, and

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 3>the NYPD says they will be working with the Manhattan

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 3>District Attorney, Alvin Bragg on when this person of interest

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.039
<v Speaker 3>may be brought to New York to face additional charges there.

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 3>We also learned Joe that the suspect, Luigi Manngioni was

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 3>a person of interest, rather, was in possession of a

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 3>ghost gun with the capability of firing a nine millimeter

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 3>round when he was taken into custody at a McDonald's

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 3>in Pennsylvania earlier today.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, pretty remarkable. Capable of firing a nine millimeters round,

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.960
<v Speaker 1>something that could be created on a three D printer,

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>something that his concerned authorities for a long time. And

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:36.119
<v Speaker 1>here we are again talking about this. His last address Honolulu,

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>even though he is from Towson, Maryland, not that far

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>outside of the nation's capital. Here, this young man with

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>stories we just heard pretty remarkable, Kaylee, about the effective

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.279
<v Speaker 1>use of drones combined with canine units, and of course

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the willingness of a McDonald's employee to make a phone call.

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>In this case, we want to bring in Miles Miller

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>once again, managing editor for Bloomberg's TV, who's been driving

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>our coverage on this store for us, and he's back

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.640
<v Speaker 1>with us from world headquarters in New York. Miles, what

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>comes next?

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So, right now, he's going to be charged locally

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 4>in Altuna, Pennsylvania, in connection with the gun possession and

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 4>fake ID charges. Once that's done with, they'll do an

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 4>extradition hearing, and the hope is to get him back

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 4>to New York if he does waive extradition. You know,

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 4>in listening to this press conference, you listen to a

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 4>story about a twenty six year old man from Marilyn

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 4>who made his way up to New York had spent

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 4>so much time here to pre plan and methodically plan

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:44.440
<v Speaker 4>the shooting of this healthcare executive. We have been able

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 4>to dig through his background and he has talked a

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 4>lot in the past. He wrote, he posted a review

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 4>of a book by Ted Kaczinski, and he has in

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 4>the manifesto that was on his person, and he talked

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 4>a lot about being anti corporate America and about some

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 4>of the issues he finds with the healthcare system. All

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 4>of this found on his person in that McDonald's, and

0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 4>as the police said, this was all solved by an

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 4>eagle eyed McDonald's employee who sees a guy who matches

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 4>the description of the suspect and calls police and on

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 4>him they find not only that gun with the suppressor

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 4>that he made himself on the three D printer, but

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 4>they also find that manifesto two pages handwritten sources telling

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 4>me and that it has a lot of writing about

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 4>anti capitalism and anti healthcare.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we heard from Joe Kenny this idea that he

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 3>expressed in that manifesto quote ill will toward corporate America.

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Although the NYPD did seem to suggest they do not

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 3>think anyone else is at threat hereer as no one

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 3>else specifically was named but Miles. They said on multiple occasions,

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 3>we're not done here. This investigation is going to continue.

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 3>What detail still could surface themselves that they will be

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 3>looking to uncover that could potentially move this individual from

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 3>person of interest to a suspect charge with these crimes.

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, you know, they sent off the fingerprints, and they

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 4>sent off the DNA from that water bottle that was

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 4>found in the alleyway after the shooting several days ago.

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 4>Now they will hope to get him to submit to

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 4>DNA testing and to see if there's a match. The

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 4>need definitive match to make sure that this is exactly

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 4>the person. They will do ballistic testing. They'll send that

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 4>gun to the police lab in Queen's and make sure

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.599
<v Speaker 4>that it is the gun that was used in this

0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 4>because right now the case has to be firmed up

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 4>by firm evidence. Then, in addition to that they've got

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 4>to see if he was planning anything else. They'll go

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 4>through his computer records. They'll figure out if he was

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 4>targeting any other investor days, if he had a list

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.800
<v Speaker 4>of people he was targeting, And then most importantly, they'll

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 4>see if he was working with any network of people

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 4>or if he was a lone wolf did this all

0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 4>on his own. That's all part of the investigation.
