Gun found on suspect in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO matches shell casings at scene, police say
ALTOONA, Pa. (AP) -- New York City's police commissioner says the gun found on the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO matches shell casings found at the crime scene. Commissioner Jessica Tisch also said Wednesday that lab results matched suspect Luigi Mangione's prints to a water bottle and a snack bar wrapper found near the scene of the killing. Police had said earlier that they believed the gunman bought the items at a nearby coffee shop while awaiting his target. Mangione is jailed in Pennsylvania on weapon and forgery charges, but he also has been charged in New York with murder in Brian Thompson's death. His lawyer has noted that Mangione is presumed innocent. Authorities are scrutinizing evidence and the suspect's experiences with the health care industry.
