A manhunt is underway in Manhattan after the CEO of UnitedHealthcare was shot Wednesday morning, according to multiple local news outlets. Brian Thompson, 50, was reportedly shot in the chest near the New York Hilton on Sixth Avenue just before 7 a.m.

Thompson was transported to Mount Sinai West in critical condition, but was later pronounced dead, the New York Times reported. It has not been confirmed that Thompson was staying in the New York Hilton, but he is visiting New York City from Minnesota for an investor conference, which was scheduled for today.

The New York Police Department is investigating the situation as a "targeted shooting," WABC reported, and that, according to witnesses, the gunman fled north after firing. The attacker has been described as being 6'1" and wearing a black jacket, black hat and black ski mask while carrying a black backpack.

6’1” and wearing a black jacket, black hat and black ski mask while carrying a black backpack.

So are we looking for a White man, a Black man, a Hispanic man or an Asian man?

Do we even know it was a man?

I was just telling my wife, “best case scenario: it was a mugging. Worst case scenario: he was assassinated.”

She then looked up details and it appears to be the latter. Implication to me is that there is a LOT of shi* that will be going down once Trump takes office.

And this was a little early house cleaning. Possible covid related.

I wonder if a number of people who know to much about the Covid shot insanity are going to start disappearing. Shooting in the chest in the middle of a big city is a more American approach. We don’t do falling out of windows.

Imagine that. The leader of an organization that works hand-in-glove with the despotic federal government ripping Americans off every year through a mandated government scheme gets shot in street. Oh the horror.

How did my comment work for you?

Reports say he was slotted into the position in 2021. And previously he was head of the government insurance division. Hmmmm.
