Antonio Brown's cryptic post sparks White House buzzHarrisburg continued its winning tradition in the District 3 Class 6A playoffs as the fourth-seeded Cougars defeated second-seeded Wilson 42-14 at Reiffton on Saturday afternoon. Penn State commit Messiah Mickens, a junior, had a strong game on both sides of the ball, scoring two rushing touchdowns, as well as three sacks and four tackles for losses on defense. Playing for its fourth straight title, Harrisburg scored the first three touchdowns before taking a 21-6 lead at halftime. Despite getting the ball first to start the second half, the Bulldogs (11-2) could not score on the first drive of the third quarter, and the Cougars (11-2) scored three touchdowns over the span of five minutes to put the game away. “Despite this loss, I’m so proud of my guys,” Wilson sophomore Mike Glover said. “The seniors especially. We fought. This game got away from us and it’s not the outcome we wanted. But we’re gonna get back in the lab, the juniors and sophomores, and we’re gonna get back to work and come back stronger next year.” With 8:12 left in the third, Jaiyon Lewis completed a 3-play 47-yard drive with a 37-yard touchdown pass to Elias Coke. Coke had a fingertip grab streaking over the middle after beating out the Bulldogs’ secondary Then, with its back close to its own end zone trailing 28-6, Wilson went for a fake punt pass on fourth down from their own 10 that fell incomplete, resulting in a 10-yard touchdown run by D’Antae Sheffy moments later to make it 35-6 with 6:42 remaining in the third. Mickens’ third sack of the day on fourth down of the Bulldogs’ ensuing drive gave Harrisburg the ball once again. This time, Lewis connected with Quincy Brannon on a pop pass near the line of scrimmage before Brannon took the pass 30 yards for the touchdown. In the fourth, with 10:56 to go in the game, a 22-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Madyx Gruber to Glover, followed by a two-point conversion run by Monty Greer closed out the scoring. Gruber finished the game 12-for-20 passing for 133 yards and two interceptions. “Madyx, man, he’s my guy,” Glover said. “He’s got a really bright future ahead of him, whether it’s football or basketball. And his basketball season is coming up and I know he’s gonna do great things. He did great things on the field this year so I’m proud of him.” In total, the Cougars outgained Wilson 306-155 with Harrisburg recording 180 rushing yards while the Bulldogs had just 26. The Cougars had four different rushers gain 30 or more rushing yards and Nehemiah Ewell had a team-high 52 rushing yards off his 52-yard touchdown run. “We just dug ourselves some holes that we couldn’t get out of,” Wilson coach Doug Dahms said. “And give it to them they have athletes across the board.” The Cougars posted the opening touchdown when Mickens scored a 7-yard touchdown run with 2:59 left in the opening quarter. The play completed a 7-play, 45-yard drive. A bad snap on a Wilson punt from their own 49 on the drive prior gave Harrisburg solid field position. After a second consecutive three-and-out for the Bulldogs, the Cougars took over and quickly advanced down the field before a 4-yard touchdown run by Mickens added to the lead on the first play of the second quarter. Trailing 14-0 midway through the second quarter, the Bulldogs put together a strong drive that ended with a turnover. After starting at their own 34, Wilson advanced to first and goal from the 5. Two runs for no gain, followed by a 2-yard run made it fourth and goal from the 3. Gruber dropped back and under heavy pressure rolled out to the right. With multiple lineman in his face Gruber attempted a pass to Glover in the back middle of the end zone that was intercepted by Trays Walker. Following the interception, a 52-yard run by Nehemiah Ewell completed a 5-play 80-yard drive for Harrisburg, making it 21-0 with 4:22 left in the first half. “We knew we had to play a really good game and get some breaks,” Dahms said. “We played well at times, but we couldn’t get any breaks.” The Bulldogs put together another promising drive to close out the first half and put points on the board. A 13-play, 58-yard drive culminated with a 2-yard touchdown run by Gruber with 14 seconds left. The drive took just over four minutes off the clock. Greer had a team-high 37 rushing yards on six carries and Cam Zullinger had a team-high 31 receiving yards on three catches. E.J. Brownback led the Bulldogs’ defense with 7.5 total tackles. “I told the kids, ‘This hurts, but you can’t overlook what you did this year,'” Dahms said. “You beat a lot of teams that nobody expected. We just let this one get away. We didn’t play our A game, and you needed your A game for this. “The seniors did a heck of a job. It was a great senior group. They did everything that was asked.”

One of Silicon Valley’s biggest civil rights groups is changing leadership. The Rev. Jethroe Moore II has made his second and likely final exit from the NAACP San Jose/Silicon Valley after buying a home in Douglasville, Georgia six months ago. It’s opened the door for someone new to take the reins — a former county correctional officer. Sean Allen, a retired sergeant with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office, is running unopposed in the group’s election to replace Moore as president on Saturday, and will take over the 82-year-old organization with roughly 260 members early next year. The former sheriff training officer has in many ways been prepped for the job and not just under Moore’s tutelage. Before joining the NAACP in 2021, Allen was for years a rare dissenting voice against sheriff leadership from within the county jail. When reporters in 2017 investigated abuse after the jail beating of Michael Tyree that led to his death, Allen was the only one out of eight correctional officers who talked on record. When a violent training accident killed a cadet in 2020, he publicly deemed it a long-running issue. After suing the sheriff’s office twice for workplace discrimination and joining the NAACP, Allen also helped lead protests against the use of police dogs and Tasers . His rise through the group first met hesitation in civil rights circles. Allen recalls some community leaders telling him they hated cops and refused to interact with him. He said things have changed over time, partly thanks to Moore’s extensive relationships. Yet Allen said the hesitation resurfaced in his bid for president. “People questioned: ‘Hey, is this guy gonna be more loyal to law enforcement?’” Allen told San Jose Spotlight. “And I’ve never represented that.” Asian Law Alliance Executive Director Richard Konda, whose group has challenged police misconduct alongside the NAACP for years, doesn’t have any reservations. “Sean Allen has been a strong advocate for civil rights and his leadership will as the new president of the local NAACP chapter ensure that the visionary leadership of (the) Rev. Moore will continue,” Konda told San José Spotlight. “Sean has been an active member of the Coalition for Justice and Accountability and has been very involved in CJA’s advocacy against Tasers and police attack dogs. We look forward to continuing to work with him on these and other civil rights issues. Moore, who often stayed with Allen and his family while traveling back and forth from Georgia over the past half-year, has come to know him as a close personal friend. He said he trusts Allen to “show up for the people.” “I want Sean to keep us down — to cobble together all the different ethnic groups — and ensure that when we say we’re speaking with the community, we really mean it,” Moore told San José Spotlight. The incoming president said he’s grappling with the idea of filling his mentor’s shoes. Moore spent decades building connections with local leaders and trust with other community organizations. When San Jose’s Black community spoke out against racist election attack ads published by the San Jose Chamber of Commerce, then known as the Silicon Valley Organization, Moore organized a diverse list of leaders to push back. It prompted the chamber to dismantle its political action committee behind the ads. Moore also helped establish Juneteenth as a recognized holiday in San Jose. Related Stories “I wanted to poise the organization to be on the sphere of what was happening — we wanted to be the first to weigh in on a critical issue and make sure we had a presence on that situation,” Moore told San José Spotlight. “I got in trouble a lot of times because it would go against the state’s position. But our goal was to protect the citizens of Santa Clara County.” In 2021, Moore announced he was moving to Atlanta, Georgia in search of better opportunities. But just one year after leaving San Jose, the beloved civil rights leader was back — separated from family, ousted from a job where he reported inappropriate conduct and struggling to find work. This time, he said he’s got more reasons to be hopeful about his latest move back east. “We’ve been fortunate enough to buy a home in Georgia on a quarter acre,” he told San José Spotlight. “I always promised my wife and kids a home.” Changing of the guard Allen said it will take time to get to Moore’s level. But he’s already looking ahead. He said he plans to continue the chapter’s government watchdogging and accountability efforts — a pursuit he said distinguishes his NAACP chapter from others in the state. “We just had a state convention and I learned about how some of the other branches are going down the same path — but it sounds to me, from the interactions we had, that we are in a different space. Particularly because we have a lot of insiders in the government informing us,” Allen told San José Spotlight. While all 57 NAACP branches in California and Hawaii are governed by the same policy principles, Silicon Valley has “one of the best branches in ensuring government accountability and fair and equal treatment of African Americans and people of color,” Rick Callender, a high-ranking leader of the NAACP’s statewide chapter and CEO of Valley Water, told San José Spotlight. “Allen has been a long fighter for equity and justice,” Callender said. “He came from the trenches doing battle, and he has fought not only for himself, but others. I fully support him as the incoming president for the San Jose/Silicon Valley NAACP.” Former Milpitas Vice Mayor and San José Spotlight board President Bob Nuñez briefly helmed the NAACP during Moore’s first move to Georgia. He said his hope is the community will rally around Allen. “Somebody has to be the watchdog. But I also think you need the ability to bring people together. Somebody has to point out what we did wrong, but it shouldn’t be the only thing we do,” Nuñez told San José Spotlight. Allen agrees. He said he also wants to put more energy toward college education access. He said he’s courting local academics to join the NAACP’s executive board, in an effort to coax local community colleges into covering tuition and other expenses for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated students. He also said he intends to enhance awareness of the NAACP as an advocate for all marginalized communities. “Most people think of the NAACP and think it’s Black only. That’s not the case,” Allen told San José Spotlight. “We’re fighting for the rights of everyone. That is the mission of the organization. That will be broadcast and represented publicly everywhere. (The) Rev. Moore has expressed the same thing. I think that we have to make changes about how we’re bringing it to other people.” Contact Brandon Pho at [email protected] or @brandonphooo on X, formerly known as Twitter.Robert Half director Dirk Kempthorne sells $76,729 in stock

Most skin diseases are unpleasant to live with, but hidradenitis suppurativa is one that can become much more than just uncomfortable and unattractive. While other skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis can also become severe and significantly impact your quality of life, hidradenitis suppurativa —also known as HS or acne inversa—has the potential to become extremely painful, socially debilitating, and even life-threatening. That’s why if you think you have HS, it’s so important to visit a dermatologist (or other qualified healthcare provider ) to explore treatment options. It’s also important to understand both the milder and more serious symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as the lifestyle changes that can help you stay in control of this challenging (and non-curable) skin disease. To begin with the basics, hidradenitis suppurativa is a skin disease that experts think originates with an overactive immune system, which leads to excessive inflammation around sweat glands and hair follicles. The first sign that someone has HS is usually a smattering of red, painful lesions on certain areas of the body, often the armpits, inner thighs, buttocks, or groin area. These may be mistaken for pimples at first, then grow larger and much more painful. HS flare-ups may involve a combination of blackheads, firm nodules, and softer abscesses—pus-filled cysts under the skin that can sometimes break open and release foul-smelling liquid. In severe cases, affected areas may also develop sinus tracts, tunnels that form underneath the skin. If left untreated, HS can lead to serious health problems. Here are some of the scarier complications that can arise for people living with HS, plus tips on how to stay healthy and maintain a better quality of life if you have this relatively common skin disease. Blood infections and sepsis One way in which HS can quickly get dangerous: If bacteria get trapped in a clogged, inflamed hair follicle, this can lead to an infection that can spread to the skin or blood. In extreme cases, people with HS develop sepsis, a rare but life-threatening complication in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Symptoms include high fever, trouble breathing, and low blood pressure and require a trip to the emergency room. Another condition to look out for: An infection of the skin called cellulitis, which involves red streaks, pain, and fever. To help avoid these complications, always avoid squeezing HS lesions, and use proper wound care (below). Cancer A rare but real complication of severe HS: If inflammation in the skin is allowed to continue uncontrolled for years, this can lead to skin cancer and other cancers. People with HS have a 50 percent higher risk of getting cancer, according to a 2024 research review in the journal Annals of Medicine . One specific risk to be aware of: Long-lasting, untreated HS lesions can turn into a cancer called squamous cell carcinoma , the second most common form of skin cancer. It is curable if diagnosed and treated promptly; your dermatologist can provide careful screening. A treatment plan for HS that includes medications like biologics can help fight inflammation to help prevent the increase in cancer risk associated with this skin disease. Heart attacks and stroke People with HS also have an increased risk of experiencing serious cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes, according to a study published in 2019 in the journal JAMA Dermatology . This is again a result of the chronic inflammation involved with hidradenitis suppurativa. People with HS are also at a much higher risk of having metabolic syndrome, a disorder that can lead to complications like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, according to research published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology . Inflammatory bowel disease Inflammatory bowel disease, or IBS, is a general term for conditions that involve chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. People with HS appear significantly more likely to develop IBS, according to a study published in 2019 in the journal JAMA Dermatology . If you have HS and frequently experience symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal cramping, or bloody stool, it’s important to make an appointment with a gastroenterologist to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. Staying Healthy With Hidradenitis Suppurativa The good news: There are lots of steps you can take to keep yourself healthy while living with HS. Proper wound care is important to relieve pain and prevent infections that can lead to serious health problems. Open abscesses should be gently cleaned, after which you can apply a topical antibiotic (ask your healthcare provider for recommendations) and a sterile, non-adhesive dressing, to promote faster healing. Your skincare routine can involve using an antiseptic cleanser, to help kill bacteria that contribute to symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa, as well as infections. Certain lifestyle changes can help minimize the symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa and prevent longer-term complications. A big one is committing to maintaining a healthy weight; obesity puts you at a higher risk of developing HS, and weight loss has the potential to reduce the severity of flare-ups or even put the skin disease into remission. Same goes for smoking—quitting is a lifestyle change with major potential to minimize symptoms of hidradenitis suppurativa (not to mention benefit your overall skin health, and health in general). Another lifestyle change to consider: Doing laser hair removal, which zaps hair follicles and sweat glands to help minimize HS flare-ups. Shaving, on the other hand, can lead to inflammation and exacerbate flare-ups, so it’s best to avoid affected areas. Finally, it’s also important to pay attention to your mental health when you have hidradenitis suppurativa; people with HS have a higher risk of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Seek out a support group online or locally—the good news is, you’re far from the only person out there dealing with the stress of this condition, and people with HS are often eager to share home remedies, treatments, tricks, and tactics that have helped improve their quality of life.By ROB GILLIES TORONTO (AP) — Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the United States should President-elect Donald Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products, a senior official said Wednesday. Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across southern and northern borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders. A Canadian government official said Canada is preparing for every eventuality and has started thinking about what items to target with tariffs in retaliation. The official stressed no decision has been made. The person spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a tit-for-tat response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Many of the U.S. products were chosen for their political rather than economic impact. For example, Canada imports $3 million worth of yogurt from the U.S. annually and most comes from one plant in Wisconsin, home state of then-House Speaker Paul Ryan. That product was hit with a 10% duty. Another product on the list was whiskey, which comes from Tennessee and Kentucky, the latter of which is the home state of then-Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell. Trump made the threat Monday while railing against an influx of illegal migrants, even though the numbers at Canadian border pale in comparison to the southern border. The U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone — and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian one between October 2023 and September 2024. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are happy to work with the Trump administration to lower the numbers from Canada. The Canadians are also worried about a influx north of migrants if Trump follows through with his plan for mass deportations. Trump also railed about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border pale in comparison to the Mexican border. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border.

Canadian officials argue their country is not the problem and that tariffs will have severe implications for both countries. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US$2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. “Canada is essential to the United States’ domestic energy supply,” Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said. Trump has pledged to cut American energy bills in half within 18 months, something that could be made harder if a 25% premium is added to Canadian oil imports. In 2023, Canadian oil accounted for almost two-thirds of total U.S. oil imports and about one-fifth of the U.S. oil supply. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is holding a emergency virtual meeting on Wednesday with the leaders of Canada’s provinces, who want Trudeau to negotiate a bilateral trade deal with the United States that excludes Mexico. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday that her administration is already working up a list of possible retaliatory tariffs “if the situation comes to that.”
The 26-year-old man had a gun believed to be the one used in the killing and writings suggesting his anger with corporate America, police officials said. He was taken into custody after police got a tip that he was eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference. Police identified the suspect as Luigi Mangione. Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco, and his last known address is in Honolulu, Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at a news briefing. Here's the latest: What police say they found in Mangione’s backpack After Mangione provided his real name and birth date, he was taken into custody on charges of forgery and false identification to law enforcement, court documents say. In his backpack, police found a black, 3D-printed pistol and a 3D-printed black silencer, the papers say. The pistol had a metal slide and plastic handle with a metal threaded barrel. It had one loaded Glock magazine with six 9 mm full metal jacket rounds and one loose 9 mm hollow-point round. Court docs describe the moment police saw Mangione in the McDonald’s According to court documents, Mangione was sitting at a table in the rear of the McDonalds wearing a blue medical mask and looking at a silver laptop computer and had a backpack on the floor. When he pulled down his mask, Altoona police officers “immediately recognized him as the suspect” in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, the documents say. Asked for identification, Mangione provided officers with a fake ID — a New Jersey driver’s license bearing another name and the incorrect date of birth. Mangione began shaking when police asked if he had been in New York recently, court papers say When an officer asked Mangione if he’d been to New York recently, he “became quiet and started to shake,” the court documents say. Mangione is charged with weapons, forgery and other charges in Pennsylvania A police criminal complaint charged him with forgery, carrying firearms without a license, tampering with records or identification, possessing an instrument of crime and providing false identification to law enforcement. Mangione arrives at court Video posted on the social platform X shows a handcuffed Mangione arriving at the Blair County Courthouse in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. Recent cases su ggest that it could be a while before Mangione is returned to New York For example, it took about 10 months to extradite a man charged with stabbing two workers at the Museum of Modern Art in 2022. The suspect, Gary Cabana, was also arrested in Pennsylvania, where he was charged with setting his Philadelphia hotel room on fire. Cabana was sent back to New York after he pleaded guilty to an arson charge in Pennsylvania. Manhattan prosecutors could seek to expedite the process by indicting Mangione for Thompson’s killing while he’s still in custody of Pennsylvania authorities. They could then obtain what’s known as a supreme court warrant or fugitive warrant to get him back to New York. Former classmate of Mangione says 'he had everything going for him’ Freddie Leatherbury hasn’t spoken to Mangione since they graduated in 2016 from Gilman School in Maryland. He said Mangione was a smart, friendly and athletic student who came from a wealthy family, even by the private school’s standards. “Quite honestly, he had everything going for him,” Leatherbury said. Leatherbury said he was stunned when a friend shared the news of their former classmate’s arrest. “He does not seem like the kind of guy to do this based on everything I’d known about him in high school,” Leatherbury said. Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family One of his cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione, a spokesperson for the delegate’s office confirmed Monday. Luigi Mangione is one of 37 grandchildren of Nick Mangione Sr., according to a 2008 obituary. Mangione Sr. grew up poor in Baltimore’s Little Italy and rose after his World War II naval service to become a millionaire real estate developer and philanthropist, according to a 1995 profile by the Baltimore Sun. He and his wife Mary Cuba Mangione, who died in 2023, directed their philanthropy through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating her death. They donated to a variety of causes, ranging from Catholic organizations to higher education to the arts. A man who answered the door to the office of the Mangione Family Foundation declined to comment Monday evening. Mangione Sr. was known for Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione Sr. prepared his five sons — including Luigi Mangione’s father, Louis Mangione — to help manage the family business, according to a 2003 Washington Post report. The Mangione family also purchased Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore in 1986. On Monday afternoon, Baltimore County police officers had blocked off an entrance to the property, which public records link to Luigi Mangione’s parents. A swarm of reporters and photographers gathered outside the entrance. UnitedHealth Group comments on the arrest “Our hope is that today’s apprehension brings some relief to Brian’s family, friends, colleagues and the many others affected by this unspeakable tragedy,” a spokesperson for UnitedHealth Group said Monday. “We thank law enforcement and will continue to work with them on this investigation. We ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy as they mourn.” Baltimore’s Gilman School sends an email about Luigi Mangione’s arrest In an email to parents and alumni, Gilman headmaster Henry P.A. Smyth said it “recently” learned that Mangione, a 2016 graduate, was arrested in the CEO’s killing. “We do not have any information other than what is being reported in the news,” Smyth wrote. “This is deeply distressing news on top of an already awful situation. Our hearts go out to everyone affected.” Mangione earned undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Pennsylvania Mangione, a high school valedictorian from a Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a spokesman told The Associated Press on Monday. He had learned to code in high school and helped start a club at Penn for people interested in gaming and game design, according to a 2018 story in Penn Today, a campus publication. His posts also suggest that he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. They also show him taking part in a 2019 program at Stanford University, and in photos with family and friends in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, the New Jersey shore and other destinations. What is a ghost gun? Police said the suspect arrested Monday had a ghost gun , a type of weapon that can be assembled at home from parts without a serial number, making them difficult to trace. The critical component in building an untraceable gun is what’s known as the lower receiver. Some are sold in do-it-yourself kits and the receivers are typically made from metal or polymer. Altoona police describe how they arrested the suspect Altoona police say officers were dispatched to a McDonald’s on Monday morning in response to reports of a male matching the description of the man wanted in connection with the United Healthcare CEO’s killing in New York City. In a news release, police say officers made contact with the man, who was then arrested on unrelated charges. The Altoona Police Department says it’s cooperating with local, state, and federal agencies. Police are investigating the path the suspect took to Pennsylvania “This just happened this morning. We’ll be working, backtracking his steps from New York to Altoona, Pennsylvania,” Kenny said. Suspect will face gun charges in Altoona, Pennsylvania, police say “And at some point we’ll work out through extradition to bring him back to New York to face charges here, working with the Manhattan district attorney’s office,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. Suspect had a ‘ghost gun,’ police say “As of right now, the information we’re getting from Altoona is that the gun appears to be a ghost gun that may have been made on a 3D printer, capable of firing a 9 mm round,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at a news briefing. Suspect had handwritten document that ‘speaks to both his motivation and mindset,’ police commissioner says The document suggested the suspect had “ill will toward corporate America,” police added. Police identify the suspect as Luigi Mangione Mangione, 26, was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco, and his last known address in Honolulu, Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said at a news briefing. 26-year-old arrested with weapon ‘consistent with’ the gun used in killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Police have arrested a 26-year-old with a weapon “consistent with” the gun used in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson , New York City’s police commissioner says. Thompson , 50, died in a dawn ambush Wednesday as he walked to the company’s annual investor conference at Manhattan hotel. Thompson had traveled from Minnesota for the event. Man questioned in UnitedHealthcare CEO’s killing had writings critical of the industry, source says A man being questioned Monday in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson had writings that appeared to be critical of the health insurance industry, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The man also had a gun thought to be similar to the one used in the killing, the official said. Police apprehended the man after receiving a tip that he had been spotted at a McDonald’s near Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 233 miles (375 kilometers) west of New York City, said the official, who wasn’t authorized to discuss details of the investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. Along with the gun, police found a silencer and fake IDs, according to the official. — Michael R.

Sisak The NYPD is sending detectives to Pennsylvania to question the person taken into custody New York City Mayor Eric Adams is expected to address this development at a previously scheduled afternoon news briefing in Manhattan. What type of rewards are there for information on the police’s suspect? While still looking to identify the suspect, the FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction. That’s on top of a $10,000 reward offered by the NYPD. In the days since the shooting, police turned to the public for help by releasing photos and video That included footage of the attack, as well as images of someone at a Starbucks beforehand. Photos taken in the lobby of a hostel on Manhattan’s Upper West Side showed the person grinning after removing his mask, police said. NYPD returns to search Central Park NYPD dogs and divers returned to New York’s Central Park today while the dragnet for Thompson’s killer stretched into a sixth day. Investigators have been combing the park since the Wednesday shooting and searching at least one of its ponds for three days, looking for evidence that may have been thrown into it. What type of gun did the shooter use? Police say the shooter used a 9 mm pistol that resembled the guns farmers use to put down animals without causing a loud noise. Police said they had not yet found the gun itself. Ammunition found near Thompson’s body bore the words “delay,” “deny” and “depose,” mimicking a phrase used by insurance industry critics . Police question man with gun thought to be similar to one used in killing of UnitedHeathcare CEO A man with a gun thought to be similar to the one used in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was taken into police custody Monday for questioning in Pennsylvania, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
