Bloody murder in Manhattan: Unitedhealth boss shot in the attack!

In a shocking turn of events, Brian Thompson, the CEO of the billion dollar health group Unitedhealth, was shot on Wednesday morning directly in front of a Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. At 6:45 a.m., a masked perpetrator Thompson attacked and fired a shot on his chest. The 50-year-old company manager was immediately brought to Mount Sinai Hospital, but could not be saved despite immediate medical help. Thompson, who has headed Unitedhealth business since 2021 and earned around $ 10 million annually, should lead an investor assembly in the hotel shortly after the incident, reported OE24 .

The brutal act only occurred a few hours before the annual Christmas tree light festival at the Rockefeller Center, which makes the crime appear even more tragic. The police immediately initiated a large -scale search for the fleeting perpetrator and the investigation is in full swing. According to SPIEGEL it is a murder that was almost perfectly staged, which also puts the investigators under pressure. The circumstances of this act raise worrying questions, especially in view of the security measures in such prominent locations during the festive season.

The public is shocked by this incident, which continues to worry about the already tense security situation in large cities. While the investigation is still underway, the question remains to what extent the UnitedHealth company is affected by this loss and what security measures will have to be taken in the future to prevent similar incidents.
