Hello, everyone, and welcome to police off the cuff.

Real Crime Stories.

I'm your host, retired NYPD Sergeant Bill Cannon, a 27-year veteran of the NYPD.

Folks, we're going to go live immediately to a press conference already in progress with the Manhattan DA's office.

A big announcement in regards to the indictment of Luigi Mangione.

We're going to go live right now up on the screen.

The press conference is already in progress in regards the indictment has been announced.

That includes our focus on the growing threat of ghost guns, one of which was used in this attack.

The NYPD remains committed to tracking down and removing these untraceable weapons from our streets. And we will do that work hand in hand with District Attorney Bragg here in

Manhattan and in every other borough to ensure that those who possess, distribute, and use these

weapons are held fully accountable. Finally, I want to again thank every member of the NYPD, uniform and civilian, working on this case,

led of course by our great Chief Kenny, whether in Midtown North Squad, homicide, crime scene unit, Intelligence Bureau, and everywhere else.

All of you contributed to today's indictment, and you've brought the Thompson family one step closer to justice in this case.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. I think I have a question.

Shana.

Sure. So, you know, in its most basic terms, this was a killing that is intended to evoke terror. And we've seen that reaction. You know, the statutory elements we can go into, but its most basic term, that's what this is. This was not an ordinary killing, not to suggest that any killing is ordinary.

But this was extraordinary. And the New York State Legislature has set out both the PAPs that we talk about, the murder one and murder two and this we allege

is certainly with squarely within those statutes which talk about intending to do exactly what

we saw happen here maybe chief penny could get into this.

But I'm wondering, sort of the time
