Gunman executes United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson
Surveillance video showing the chilling moment a masked gunman executed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was released Wednesday afternoon as new details of the targeted shooting death emerged.
As previously reported, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in the chest Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan in what is believed to be a targeted attack.
Thompson, 50, arrived before 7 am for a conference when he was shot at multiple times by a masked man who police say was waiting for him to arrive, the New York Post reported.
Thompson was pronounced dead at the Mt. Sinai Hospital.
The assailant calmly executed Brian Thompson and then took off down 6th Street on a bicycle.
According to CBS News, the shooter waited for hours overnight and used a silencer when he fatally shot Brian Thompson.
Video shows the assailant methodically getting into position as Brian Thompson walked in front of the Manhattan Hilton Hotel.
The gunman fired several rounds at Brian Thompson causing him to stumble, before shooting him again.

Shooter is a pro using a suppressed weapon. Effortlessly cleared three malfunctions (most likely due to subsonic ammo not cycling the slide) and put three rounds into the victim.

Brian Thompson’s wife said her husband was being threatened before Wednesday’s fatal shooting.
“It appears the suspect was lying in wait for several minutes, and as the victim was walking to the conference hotel, the suspect approached from behind and fired several rounds, striking the victim at least once in the back and at least once in the right calf,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.
