Alleged Plot to Attack UnitedHealthcare CEO

Luigi Mangione allegedly planned to bomb Manhattan before deciding to shoot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. He is charged with second-degree murder and gun possession. Mangione's manifesto criticizes the American healthcare system and UnitedHealthcare specifically. He views himself as a hero fighting corruption and 'power games.' The attack is believed to be an 'act of war' against the company for violating his mother's healthcare contract. Mangione was influenced by Ted Kaczynski, the 'Unabomber.'
