UnitedHealthcare CEO Fatally Shot in New York City in Apparent Targeted Attack
ai generated text
The articles report on a fatal shooting that occurred in midtown Manhattan. The victim, Brian Thompson, was the CEO of UnitedHealthcare and was shot multiple times in the chest. Police believe that Thompson was intentionally targeted in the attack, which was described as a "brazen targeted attack" by New York's police commissioner. A manhunt is underway for the attacker, who fled the scene on a bicycle, and a $10,000 reward is being offered for information on the gunman.
It seems to be clearly targeted by an individual and we will apprehend that individual.
This is a horrifying and shocking act of violence. My thoughts are with Brian Thompson's family and loved ones and all those working at United Healthcare in Minnesota.
I'm horrified by the assassination of my constituent, Brian Thompson, this morning in NYC and have his family in my prayers.
I want to be clear at this time, every indication is that this was a premeditated, pre-planned targeted attack.
Investigative efforts of the New York City Police Department are well underway, and we will not rest until we identify and apprehend the shooter.
We're encouraging New Yorkers to go about their daily lives and their daily business but to be alert.
Brian was a highly respected colleague and friend to all who worked with him. We are working closely with the New York Police Department and ask for your patience and understanding during this difficult time. Our hearts go out to Brian's family and all who were close to him.
Many of my colleagues today are sitting down with their executive protection team leaders, their security leadership teams, and re-evaluating what they are doing and not doing.
