In a dramatic development, authorities have arrested 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, suspected in the shocking murder of UnitedHealth executive Brian Thompson in Manhattan. The arrest, following a five-day nationwide manhunt, occurred in Altoona, Pennsylvania, when an alert McDonald's employee tipped off police.

Mangione was discovered with a 'ghost gun'—an untraceable firearm—and a silencer, believed to have been used in the crime, said New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch. In addition to weapons, Mangione possessed fraudulent identification tied to the crime scene and defensive gear.

Investigations are ongoing, with Mangione facing potential extradition to New York. A document found with Mangione hinted at anti-corporate sentiments, aligning with the mysterious engraving found at the crime scene, reminiscent of a book critiquizing the insurance sector.
