A man in the Altoona, Pennsylvania, area is being questioned Monday in connection with last week's UnitedHealthcare CEO killing in Manhattan, in part because he was found with a gun similar to the one used in the shooting, according to two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.
The sources say it is too soon to determine if his case is connected to the death of Brian Thompson, but they are investigating it as a potentially significant development. According to the sources, customers at a local McDonald's thought he looked suspicious and called police. Arriving officers noticed a fake ID so took him in for questioning.
Here's where it gets really interesting:
Once at the police station, the sources said, officers discovered the man had a gun similar to the one used in Thompson's killing, as well as a silencer and a fake New Jersey ID. The suspected gunman allegedly used a fake New Jersey ID when he checked into a Manhattan hostel last month.
We'll let you know when more info becomes available.
Maybe he found it in Central Park.
NewsNation is reporting NYPD is still searching the lake in Central Park. Not sure there is enough Monopoly money in all the world to get me diving for treasures in the Central Park lake. Eeeew.
Maybe he bought it in Central Park.............
For such a well planned crime, do you really think the guy kept the gun all the way to Altoona?
Why are they letting this info out?? Makes no sense.
Was the man in the video at the moment of the shooting ever ID’d?
That’s why you throw the weapon in the river.
Nutcase looking for notoriety
If I were laying low, an Altoona McDonalds would be low on my list of places to go for food. I’d probably stick with bad neighborhood noname convenience stores and take out places.
I believe since the perp was extracting unspent rounds this murder was not so well planned and the suspect not so pro.
They may find a few bodies of unsolved murder victims in that lake.
Lol.
Ten bucks says he was a Bernie supporter who voted for Hillary and the Wino.
EC
Some murders for hire are sorta amateur types who are friends of a friend of the spouse or spouse’s boyfriend—may talk a good game but not be that great on details.
Many of these cases are amazingly sloppy.
Starbucks customers are not usually the types of people found in a McDonalds. But McD’s coffee isn’t too bad so maybe some do?
Not publicly...............
Why was the actor not searched for weapons prior to transport to jail?
It is not the shooter.
But imagine all the other evidence they might find. Hell, even Jimmy might be there!
How popular do you think a McDonald’s in Altoona is?
