The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson shattered any sense of ease or complacency among business leaders this week. And as companies and executives struggle to make sense of the violence, many have been left to wonder if they could meet the same fate.
On Wednesday morning, before UnitedHealth Group’s investor conference, Thompson was shot and killed in front of a Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan. The suspect fled the area, and has yet to be captured by authorities. Police say that the killing was a targeted attack.
