NYC: United HealthCare CEO Shot Dead in Apparent Targeted Attack
A masked gunman shot Thompson outside of a Midtown hotel.
According to reports, a masked gunman shot and killed United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, in Manhattan on Wednesday morning.
Brian Thompson, 50, was shot just before 7 a.m. near a hotel on 54th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues, sources said. Video posted to Citizen showed police tape on the Midtown street as police arrived at the scene.
He was rushed to an area hospital and later died. The shooting is being investigated as a possibly targeted hit, sources said.
Thompson became CEO of UnitedHealthcare in 2021 after joining UnitedHealth Group in 2004. Before being named CEO, he lead government programs for UnitedHealthcare, including Medicare.
UnitedHealthGroup started its annual Investor Conference at 8 a.m. Wednesday, which was scheduled to run until 11 a.m. An official ended the conference early around 9:09 a.m.
“We’re dealing with a very serious… situation,” he said. “We’re going to have to bring to a close the event today… I apologize for bringing things to a close but I hope you’ll understand.”

I will assume that every present and former United Healthcare subscriber is a suspect.
No shortage of suspects, that’s for sure.
Musk, Ackman, Carlson and the rest should be reviewing their protection schemes.
Not necessarily.
I recently signed up to them, no complaints so far.
My elder sis (with serious health issues) was a member for decades, she recommended them to me.
I bet though the authorities will be looking at relatives of members who had an acrimonious relationship.
You’re lucky then. My employer used them for years and just recently switched. United Health didn’t cover anything, to include medications that my wife’s doctor prescribed because the insurance believed they better knew what she needed.
People should be wary of trading in traditional Medicare for a Medicare Advantage (Medicare Part C) plan widely advertised on TV. You may get a few extra benefits, which could come at the cost of possibly restricted treatment when you need it the most.
Wow. While it may not be a household name, it’s one of the biggest companies in the world, Top-20 for certain. I think it’s headquartered in the Midwest, maybe WI or MN. Weird to wait until someone travels to New York City to pop him in broad daylight in the US city that has the most CCTV than any in the US. Corporate executive security is going to get a whole lot more robust…and expensive.
Targeted hit. The conspiracy mind boggles.

“What, you’re denying coverage for my Viagra?”
Hope they don’t bill his family for the ambulance response. That wouldn’t be humane…
A secret Russian dossier identifies Adam Schiff as the shooter.
That’s right. Schiff also fails to pay his taxes and he likes to get golden showers from Russian hookers. Don’t quote me on that, but this information comes from a very reliable source.
How dare you make such an accusation against him. Schiff, I will have you know, is a patriot, and would never patronize a Russian hooker. All his hookers are certified Ukrainian; he makes them show him their passports.
This is absolutely appalling. America’s descent into banana republic land continues at breakneck speed. This happens in third world hell holes all the time. And no one is ever caught. I hope they catch him fast. With any luck he is shot resisting arrest. As a sidebar, I’ve noticed, more and more, that people are on the fritz in our fair land. They have forgotten how to drive, how to behave in public, how to think logically, i.e., I’m concerned that too many idiots made it to the D. Penny jury in Gotham.
He will have to be. Otherwise he could be questioned. Can’t have that.
Very tragic. Did he recently cook any meals for the Obamas?
I have a cheapo security camera off of Amazon that has a clearer picture than that thing did
I have often wondered how we could have had satellites that can read a newspaper from outer space, but “security camera” pictures are always crap.
