Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, is fighting extradition to New York, and will remain in custody in Pennsylvania, reported the Pennsylvania Capital Star.
Mangione, 26, was charged late Monday in Manhattan with second-degree
murder, forgery and three gun charges. He was arrested at a McDonald’s in
Altoona on Monday and was arraigned Monday evening at the Blair County
Courthouse in Hollidaysburg on charges of carrying a firearm without a license,
forgery, records or identification tampering, possession of instruments of
crime and presenting false identification to law enforcement.
Police said they found a 3D-printed pistol loaded with nine
rounds of 9 mm ammunition and a loose hollow-point round in Mangione’s
backpack. The gun was with a silencer that had also been 3D printed, police
said.
Blair County Common Pleas Judge David Consiglio ordered
Mangione held without bail at SCI-Huntingdon pending an extradition hearing.
The Associated Press reported that Mangione shouted about an “insult to the
intelligence of the American people” as he arrived at the courthouse on
Tuesday.
Thompson, 50, was shot and killed outside a New York City
hotel on Dec. 4. He had been CEO of UnitedHealthcare, one of the nation’s
largest for-profit health insurance providers, for nearly three years.
