00:00In midtown Manhattan early this morning, 50-year-old Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare,
00:06was shot and killed in what appears, at this early stage of our investigation, to be a
00:11brazen targeted attack.
00:14This does not appear to be a random act of violence.
00:17It appears the suspect was lying in wait for several minutes.
00:22And as the victim was walking to the conference hotel, the suspect approached from behind
00:27and fired several rounds, striking the victim at least once in the back and at least once
00:33in the right calf.
00:34I want to be clear.
00:36At this time, every indication is that this was a premeditated, preplanned, targeted attack.
