UnitedHealthcare shooting suspect contests his extradition back to New York

Manila Bulletin

The suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO struggled with deputies and shouted Tuesday while arriving for a court appearance in Pennsylvania, a day after he was arrested at a McDonald’s and charged with murder.  Luigi Nicholas Mangione emerged from a patrol car, spun toward reporters and shouted something partly unintelligible referring to an “insult to the intelligence of the American people” while deputies pushed him inside.

00:00Manhattan prosecutors filed a murder charge against Luigi Mangione in the December 4th

00:09killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

00:13And they were working to bring him back from Pennsylvania to face those charges in New

00:17York City.

00:18Now Mangione was arrested on Monday at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 230 miles

00:24west of Manhattan.

00:25Now investigators in Pennsylvania posted new photos, new to the public at least, of Mangione

00:31in Altoona.

00:33They show him at the McDonald's where he was arrested, eating a hash brown with a blue

00:38mask on his face, taking the mask off, and then there are other photos of him what appears

00:43to be in a jail cell or a holding cell.

00:46Mangione was held without bail in a state prison in Pennsylvania.

00:50He was charged there with presenting a false identification to police, with forgery, and

00:54with a gun charge.

00:56Police say they found a ghost gun, an untraceable make-it-at-home kind of weapon, along with

01:02a suppressor or silencer, and writings that they say tie him potentially to this crime.

01:09Among the things he said were that there were parasites and that they had this coming to

01:14them, which investigators believe was a reference to the healthcare industry and potentially

01:19UnitedHealthcare specifically.

01:22In those writings, according to a law enforcement official, Mangione also said that he did this

01:28alone.

01:29He said he wanted to save investigators the time and trouble of finding potential co-conspirators.

01:34He says there were none.

01:37Mangione's arrest in Pennsylvania adds a wrinkle to the process going forward.

01:42He faces charges there.

01:44He also faces charges in New York for the murder of Brian Thompson.

01:49Now, police and prosecutors have filed for an arrest warrant, and they are seeking extradition

01:55from Pennsylvania to New York to prosecute Mangione for that killing.
