Authorities are questioning a person of interest in connection with last week's shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, sources say.
Detectives are interrogating the Altoona, Pennsylvania man, in part, because he was found to have a firearm similar to the one used in the shooting, sources said, according to WNBC-TV.
Thompson, 50, was in New York City for the company's annual investors meeting when he was ambushed by a masked shooter who fired off several rounds into the victim's back and leg, leaving him mortally wounded.
The killer then fled – first on foot, then by e-bike. He subsequently boarded a bus departing New York City, leaving authorities to believe he is no longer in the area.
