An ongoing investigation into the tragic killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has uncovered a startling detail - the potential use of a veterinary gun by the gunman. According to Joseph Kenny, Chief of Detectives at the New York Police Department, there is a possibility that the perpetrator utilized a veterinary gun, a larger firearm commonly found on farms and ranches.
Kenny explained that veterinary guns are designed to euthanize animals in a quiet manner, without causing a loud noise. These guns are based on the welrod design, which dates back to World War II and was known as an assassin's weapon. The veterinary gun typically fires a 9mm round and is intended for close-range, precise killing.
