26-year-old caught at fast-food place after Manhattan exec shooting
Police caught a suspect in Pennsylvania after five-day search for Manhattan health exec shooter. The man had an un-registered weapon and anti-business notes when found at fast-food restaurant
A week-long search ended when police found their suspect eating fast-food in Pennsylvania. Luigi Mangione‚ a 26-year-old Maryland-born man was taken into custody for the street-side killing of health insurance leader Brian Thompson
The suspect — who was spotted at a McDonalds in Altoona last monday — had several items with him: a non-traceable weapon and hand-written notes showing hate towards big companies. Law enforcement tracked Mangione for five days after the mid-town shooting
Law-enforcement filed multiple charges against the suspect including:
* Having an illegal weapon
* Giving wrong ID to officers
* Not having proper gun papers
The arrest came after Thompson was shot on a busy Manhattan sidewalk (near his workplace). Police say the suspect moved between states before they caught him; which led to a multi-state search effort. The case shows how quick action by different police departments helped catch the shooter whose actions shocked the local business community
