The CEO of UnitedHealth was fatally shot in the chest Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown in what police say was a targeted attack.

Brian Thompson, 50, was at the hotel at around 6:46 a.m. arriving early for a conference when a masked man allegedly waiting for him fired at the CEO repeatedly and fled eastbound off of 6th Avenue, police sources told The Post.

Thomas was rushed to the Mt Sinai Hospital in critical condition, where he was later pronounced dead, police said.

Not really that weird, shocked it hasn’t happened more often.

Might be a start of a bad run for CEO’s if it’s an angry customer.

Most likely revenge for a loved one who died after being denied coverage.

Somehow, the Dems and their media will try to connect this murder to Trump and MAGA.

UHC Covers a lot of Medicare/Medicade People.

So far I’ve been with them for a couple of years and they have been good on My Claims.

Obviously someone knew his schedule and planned carefully. That area of Manhattan is covered with surveillance cameras. It will be interesting to see just how clever and professional this assassin is and if he allowed himself to be photographed. Also wonder if there any veteran NYPD detectives still on the force who can solve this crime.
