Following the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan earlier this week, executive security firms have been experiencing a deluge of inquiries from nervous corporate clients.
Shortly before UnitedHealth Group’s investor conference early on the morning of Dec. 4, Thompson, 50, was killed on the street outside a Hilton hotel. The suspect fled on foot, and then on an electric bike through Central Park. Authorities have yet to identify or locate the shooter, but they say the attack was targeted.
