Hi there, everyone, four o'clock in New York.

We come on the air with significant breaking news this afternoon

for the better part of the last six days.

26-year-old Luigi Mangione has been named a person of interest in the murder of United

Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. At this hour, he's being held for questioning in central

Pennsylvania. NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed this afternoon that Mangione was

arrested on firearms charges and that he had a

number of items on him that matched the details of the gunmen.

Earlier this morning in Altoona, Pennsylvania, members of the Altuna Police Department

arrested Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old male on firearms charges. At this time, he is believed to be our

person of interest in the brazen targeted murder of Brian Thompson, CEO of United Healthcare

last Wednesday in Midtown Manhattan. The suspect was in a McDonald's and was recognized. Responding officers

questioned the suspect who was acting suspiciously and was carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a

U.S. passport. Upon further investigation, officers recovered a firearm on his person, as well as a

suppressor, both consistent with the

weapon used in the murder. Also recovered was a fraudulent New Jersey ID, matching the ID

our suspect used to check into his New York City hostel before the shooting incident.

Amanda Jone, as she said, was eating at the McDonald's when an employee recognized him and called

the police. The NYPD commissioner today acknowledged that getting the surveillance footage out

was key to capturing Mangione. We must also acknowledge the instrumental role, the media

and the public played in this case.
