Man In Custody After Claiming He Had Gun …
Months After Luigi Mangione Arrest
Posted on April 14, 2025, at 12:41 PM PDT
A concerning standoff occurred at the UnitedHealthcare headquarters in Minnesota, leading to the custody of a man who reportedly claimed to possess a firearm. Authorities have indicated that the FBI is now involved in the investigation following the incident.
According to reports, law enforcement officials have detained the individual after a gun was discovered in his vehicle. This situation unfolds just a few months after Luigi Mangione was allegedly charged with the fatal shooting of former UHC CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan.
Prior to his arrest, the suspect was engaged in a tense phone conversation with police while seated in his car. During this call, he appeared agitated, requesting a negotiator, acknowledging he had a pistol, demanding a ransom of $1 million, and asserting he would not surrender easily.
A significant police presence responded to the UnitedHealthcare corporate campus in Minnetonka on Monday. In the end, the FBI successfully persuaded the man to surrender peacefully.
The motive behind the suspect’s presence at UnitedHealthcare with a weapon remains uncertain, particularly given the backdrop of the tragic shooting of CEO Brian Thompson earlier this year in New York City.
Luigi Mangione, who has recently garnered a notable following, faces accusations of Thompson’s murder. It remains unclear whether the individual in custody is linked to Mangione in any way or if his actions were inspired by the previous crime.
