Summary

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot in a premeditated attack outside the New York Hilton Midtown in Manhattan. The gunman, still at large, fired at Thompson multiple times, striking him in the back and calf.

Shell casings found at the scene had the words "deny," "defend," and "depose" written on them, according to law enforcement. Despite known threats, Thompson did not have a security detail.

Surveillance footage shows the assailant ambushing Thompson from behind before fleeing. The motive remains unclear as investigations continue.

    Early start to four years of Republican-led chaos maybe?

    Not to absolve the Democrats of upholding the status quo, but it tends to be less all-out chaotic. Edit: I guess the Trump shooting attempts were some chaos, but it's still directly tied to Trump.
