| 0:00.0 | Today's other headlines start with what New York City police called the brazen targeted |
| 0:05.3 | killing of a major health insurance CEO in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. |
| 0:10.3 | Fifty-year-old Brian Thompson, chief executive of United Health Care, one of the nation's largest |
| 0:15.9 | health insurers, was shot and killed just before dawn outside of a hotel where investors had gathered for a conference. |
| 0:23.2 | Investigators said the masked suspect waited several minutes for Thompson's arrival before |
