Suspected CEO Killer Luigi Mangione Screams at Media While Entering Courthouse: ‘This is Extremely Unjust!’

 

Luigi Mangione, who police say murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a cold-blooded and targeted assassination in New York City last week, shouted at reporters Tuesday afternoon while being escorted into a courthouse.

In Blair County, Pennsylvania, officers removed the 26-year-old from a police cruiser and escorted him inside.

The agitated alleged murderer began shouting at reporters who had gathered outside the site of his extradition hearing.

“This is extremely unjust, and an insult to the intelligence of the American people!” Mangione shouted.

Mangione made additional comments that were inaudible.

CNN cameras caught the moment. Network anchor Boris Sanchez commented:

We couldn’t make out, he said, that something was an insult to the intelligence of the American people. It’s the latest turn in a cascade of developments since Mangione arrest a day ago. The 26 year old Ivy Leaguer and high school valedictorian was spotted yesterday at a McDonald’s restaurant in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and new images show Mangione at the McDonald’s earlier that day. Multiple customers and an employee had noticed how much he resembled the target of a nationwide manhunt until an employee called the police.

CBS News reported on the extradition hearing:

Mangione is currently being held without bail in Altoona, Pennsylvania, where authorities say the extradition process to New York could take days, if not weeks. Investigators are now pouring through what they call a mountain of evidence, trying to fill in the gaps of his journey and determine if he acted alone.

The 26-year-old was caught five days after the shooting after a customer spotted him at a McDonald’s in Altoona, which is about 300 miles away from the shooting scene in Midtown Manhattan.
