UHC shooter caught
By 
I would probably avoid McDonald’s if I were the subject of a nationwide manhunt:
A man in Altoona, Pennsylvania, was stopped with a fake New Jersey ID and is being held for questioning in connection with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The man had walked into a McDonald’s where a witness recognized him from the images circulated by police, sources said.
The man had a similar gun to the one used in Wednesday’s assassination-style killing outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel, the sources said. Altoona police also recovered a computer.
Also not tossing the gun and the fake ID seems like it isn’t in the criminal mastermind playbook. It will be interesting to see if there’s some 400-page manifesto in that computer.

The person of interest in UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s killing has been identified as 26-year-old computer whiz who graduated valedictorian from his Maryland high school.
Luigi Mangione, of Towson, Md., was carrying identification with his name on it, as well as a fake I.D., when he was taken in for questioning, law enforcement sources told the New York Times.
The break in the case comes after a McDonald’s employee in Altoona, Pennsylvania, noticed that he resembled the suspect seen on the New York Police Department’s wanted posters.
Mangione graduated as valedictorian from the Gilman School in Baltimore, where he played soccer, according to the New York Post. Upon graduating, he said he intended to study artificial intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania.
