United Health Care CEO

[blasternaz]

And here in the U.S., a man gunned down the CEO of UnitedHealthcare on a sidewalk outside the Midtown Manhattan Hilton hotel, less than two hours before a company investor day was supposed to begin inside.

Today, the 26-year-old suspect was apprehended after being spotted in a Pennsylvania McDonald's restaurant. Police said he had a gun and silencer, a fake ID, and a manifesto critical of the health insurance industry. The suspect is originally from Maryland and was the valedictorian at a private school in a part of Baltimore 10 minutes from where I'm writing today's edition.

The headlines are crazy, to say nothing of the stories behind them...

I'm pissed off by the whole thing. There is probably one murder every day in NYC, and they never make the news. Granted, many of them are Good Riddance murders, where one gangbanger offs another gangbanger, but some of them are decent people who got pushed in front of a subway train, or were clerks killed in a quicky-mart robbery, or nurses killed for their purses, or taxi drivers murdered for fun. Their stories are no less tragic. Why are we supposed to care about this one guy and not all the others? Because he's rich?

It's also being reported that the gun appears to have been a 3D printed ghost gun... Let the ramping up of attacks on the 2A begin - when the real question should be: "who radicalized this terrorist?" U Penn?

Picture that has been released looks like a 3d printed lower. Glock upper. Glock mags.

My original guess (based on the malfunctions) was homemade suppressor and a P80 framed Glock.

Supposed he comes from a wealthy Baltimore family connected to the healthcare industry. Hmmmmm,...I wonder how that plays into everything.

And what do we learn from this about plastering our lives across public digital spaces? I don't even like ordering books from Amazon, let alone publishing my entire reading list for the world to see. Would-be assassin may not have been valedictorian of a private school or had 2 degrees from an Ivy, but he's looking like the smarter one here.

Speaking of stupid, isn't the whole point of a 3d-printed gun that it's disposable and not traceable? Why would anyone keep that after a crime?

Yea, was thinking the same thing, this doesn't pass the smell test, kid was smart, too smart to hang on to the evidence to convict him.

I'm not suggesting a conspiracy. Just calling out "book smart vs street smart".

That does not look like it is 3-D printed. A finished 80% frame without a serial number, OK, I could believe that.
It's not possible that professional journalists could get the facts wrong, is it?

There's better looking 3d printed.

Nice. The one with the Glock 23 slide and the one next to it look very close to the shooter's weapon with the stippled triangle and the shape of the magazine catch. You're right, his does look cruder, even blurry.

Looks like an FMDA dd19.2

I was wrong.
