UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting suspect Luigi Mangione may have used 'ghost gun': police

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old tech whiz suspected of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week, allegedly used a ghost gun that he might have made on a 3-D printer to commit the killing, authorities said.

“He was in possession of a ghost gun that had the capability of firing a 9-mm round and a suppressor,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Monday press briefing, adding that the piece “may have been made on a 3-D printer.”

Cops nabbed Mangione — who sources said is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski — while he ate at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., ending an intense manhunt that began after he executed Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week.

"Ghost Gun": Prosecutor slang for, this isn't the gun, but we will charge him anyway.

I am glad that the suspect is in custody, but what's up with all of the signs showing us how "safe" NYC is? It looks like a political gathering.

If you want to fire a 3D printed gun, you must not be concerned about blowing your fingers and/or your face apart.

They don’t talk about his left wing ideology but want to talk about guns lol

Now they are going to try to ban our 3d printers lol, when in reality like what happened in Japan a dude could just go to Home Depot or similar to make anything
