Surveillance video showing the chilling moment a masked gunman executed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was released Wednesday afternoon as new details of the targeted shooting death emerged.
As previously reported, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in the chest Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan in what is believed to be a targeted attack.
Thompson, 50, arrived before 7 am for a conference when he was shot at multiple times by a masked man who police say was waiting for him to arrive, the New York Post reported.
The assailant calmly executed Brian Thompson and then took off down 6th Street on a bicycle.
According to CBS News, the shooter waited for hours overnight and used a silencer when he fatally shot Brian Thompson.
“It appears the suspect was lying in wait for several minutes, and as the victim was walking to the conference hotel, the suspect approached from behind and fired several rounds, striking the victim at least once in the back and at least once in the right calf,”

The lady drinking coffee was lucky the gun jammed when she started to run away. She saw him up close even though he was wearing a mask.
Indeed 👍
The assassin clearly knew how to clear a jam.
Has anyone chimed in on what the hell kind of gun this is? Might as well have been a musket.
“Executed”???
“Executed” means a judicial killing of a person convicted in open court of a capital crime.
This was an assassination.
It’s the wife. Always the wife
The weapon appears to be outfitted with a silencer, and the assassin appears not to have tested it before attacking his victim.
Just take it as a given, the moment you step out of your home, there is very likely some camera, somewhere, filming you. That is, unless you live in a remote and/or rural area, with very few people. 15 years ago, we used to make fun of England for being the same way. In this case, it’s a good thing, that may get this killer off the streets soon.
I’m not so sure it “jammed”, to me they look more like “cat-sneeze” loads. Probably ~5-600 fps, full wad cutters. He’s pretty calm and it appears to me anyways that he knew he would have to manually rack the slide each time.
Something using sub-sonic ammo. Its sometimes hard to get sub-sonic to cycle reliably especially .22
That speech he was going to give - it didn’t contain any announcement that he had evidence against Hillary Clinton, did it?
The shooter was a pro. He knew he didn’t have to worry about the witness as there would be no way to positively identify that perp in that attire with a black ski mask.
Probably lots of men in suits attending that conference yet this shooter knew enough to identify this particular person.
Maybe the exec flipped.
I read that he was being investigated for insider trading.
Pure speculation on my part from watching congress…and The Sopranos.
Contradictory reporting.
Brian Thompson was shot in the chest Wednesday - he was shot in the back initially. Looked like I e a professional hit job.
[He’s pretty calm]
Indeed he was.
Likely not his first “hit job” IMHO
Looked like he had a silencer.
Could have been the wife. Most corporate benefits packages have a death payout of 1x or 2x yearly pay. If he was due for a paycut next year she may have decided to cash in. That’s around $20 mil
Sure looks like a young professional at work.
Hired? Retribution for a family member left untreated?
