Police locate backpack of New York shooting suspect
The Independent
|December 07, 2024
New York City police believe the man who fatally shot a UnitedHealth top executive has left the city, Police commissioner Jessica Tisch said last night, as the hunt for the gunman passed the crucial 48-hour mark.
Brian Thompson, 50, the CEO of UnitedHealth’s insurance unit, was shot in the back on Wednesday in what police described as a targeted attack. Police have released multiple photos of the suspect – who fled the scene, climbed on an electric bicycle and disappeared into Central Park – and have asked the public for help in tracking him down.
Police yesterday recovered what they believe to be the suspect’s backpack in Central Park, CNN, citing unnamed police sources. The discarded backpack, potentially loaded with evidence, was missed on a first pass but found on a subsequent, expanded search through the 843-acre (341-hectare) park, CNN said.

Marinating in the milk and honey of Israeli hyperbole
