UnitedHealthcare CEO fatally shot - 12/9 UPDATE: CAUGHT

You're talking to the guy who started the "dueling should be legal" thread last year.

 

Dueling should be legal

Lol

 

That was good thread. Had a laugh remembering some of those posts.

 

Yeah that was a good trip down memory lane. Also realized @sas1988 hasn't posted in a year.

 

Gunman seemed to have insider intel with an outsider’s motive. Knew where he would be at that early hour and knew what he looked like despite (presumably) heavy winter outer layers. Had a deadly vendetta against health insurance CEO like only someone (or someone’s loved one) who has suffered grievously from company’s decisions could.

 

Phone dropped in alley,
Flees on gps’d ebike

 

They have his phone? He’s as good as caught.
Those bikes are paid for with cc and they should be able to track it to origin with cc data.

 

I assume its a burner unless the guy is a total idiot, same is true if he used his own credit card. If they havent caught him yet in a city with like 10,000 cameras everywhere ...

 

True enough. But its been my observation that the world in general and the criminal subset seems to be heavily populated by total idiots.

 

Something strange with that video, the shooter had to physically recock the gun each time he fired. That is not normal with what looks like a semi-automatic pistol with a suppressor on it.

 

Did you see the malfunction theory laid out in post #45, and if so, does that seem plausible to you?

 

It does. After reading that and going back to watch the video, it is clear the shooter was expecting to have to pull the slide back and recock after every shot. There is not the hesitation and actions you would expect if the shooter was not expecting that to happen. It looks like he had been doing drills to prepare for that.

 

There's a reason a lot of reputable news organizations turned off the comment sections.

 

Craziness

 

And have been for a while. CBS turned off comments on Obama stories back when he was first running.
