Summary
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan. The gunman, still at large, fired at Thompson multiple times, striking him in the back and calf.
Shell casings found at the scene had the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” written on them, according to law enforcement. Despite known threats, Thompson did not have a security detail.
Surveillance footage shows the assailant ambushing Thompson from behind before fleeing. The motive remains unclear as investigations continue.

The way he actioned the gun after the first shot seems very practiced, it’s only between 2 and 3 he seems to have trouble. Even then he clears it quickly enough for the third shot.
I think he already knew the gun with silencer and subsonics wouldn’t action automatically.
