Authorities investigating the shooting of the UnitedHealthcare CEO have revealed details about the suspect's actions during the incident. According to police officials, the suspect operated with precision and experience, displaying characteristics of an experienced marksman.
Surveillance footage captured the suspect using a semi-automatic pistol to shoot the CEO from a distance of 20 feet. Despite facing multiple gun jams during the attack, the suspect remained composed and efficiently cleared the jams to continue firing at the victim.
Firearms experts who analyzed the video footage noted that the gun malfunctioned after each shot, requiring the suspect to manually clear the jams by racking the slide back. This method of addressing gun malfunctions is commonly taught in law enforcement and military training.
Additionally, the suspect's weapon was equipped with a silencer, which experts believe may have contributed to the gun's malfunctions. Silencers can alter the mechanics of a firearm, potentially leading to jamming issues if not properly modified.
The suspect's calm demeanor and ability to handle the weapon's malfunctions suggest a level of training and expertise that aligns with a background in law enforcement or the military. Investigators are continuing to analyze the evidence and gather information to identify and apprehend the individual responsible for the attack.
