Luigi Mangione Used Ghost Gun Made on 3-D Printer to Kill UnitedHealthcare CEO

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old tech whiz suspected of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly used a ghost gun that he may have made on a 3-D printer, according to authorities.

“He was in possession of a ghost gun that had the capability of firing a 9-mm round and a suppressor,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Monday press briefing, suggesting that the weapon “may have been made on a 3-D printer.”

Mangione, described as an anti-capitalist Ivy League graduate who admired quotes from “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski, was apprehended by police while dining at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa. The arrest followed an intense manhunt that began after he fatally shot Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel.

Originally from Towson, Md., sources suggest that Mangione may have held resentment towards the medical community due to their treatment of a sick relative.

In addition to the homemade ghost gun, Mangione was found with a silencer, a US passport, four fake IDs, and a two-and-a-half-page manifesto expressing his disdain for the medical community, with statements like “These parasites had it coming,” according to law enforcement sources.
