Mr. Thompson was taken to Mount Sinai West in critical condition.<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-1dv1kvn\">\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Police officers are still searching for the gunman, who fled east on foot along the Avenue of the Americas, the report said. He was wearing a cream-colored jacket, a black face mask and a gray backpack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The police believe Mr. Thompson was targeted in the attack, which happened during the company\u2019s annual investor conference in New York City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Thompson had arrived early to prepare, according to the people familiar with the investigation. The gunman apparently knew which door Mr. Thompson was going to enter and shot him several times from mere feet away, then fled. The gunman, the people said, ran, jumped on a bicycle and pedaled away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Just after 9 a.m. on Wednesday, yellow caution tape closed off the section of West 54th Street just outside the hotel entrance. Inside, the morning continued as usual, with guests ordering coffee and arriving with luggage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">The only sign of trouble was a small group of police officers huddled in front of a check-in sign for the conference.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\">Mr. Thompson was promoted to chief executive of UnitedHealthcare in April 2021, heading one unit of the larger UnitedHealth Group. He lives in Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p class=\"live-blog-post-content css-h61jh5 evys1bk0\"><em class=\"css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0\">This is a breaking news story and will be updated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button class=\"css-182hr0m\" data-testid=\"Show-More\" type=\"button\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Show more<\/button><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/12\/04\/nyregion\/shooting-midtown-nyc-united-healthcare-brian-thompson.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updated\u00a0 Dec. 4, 2024, 9:52 a.m. ET The chief executive of UnitedHealthcare, one of the nation\u2019s largest health insurers, was fatally shot in the chest in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=133348\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-133348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=133348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133348\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=133348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=133348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=133348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
