VIDEO: Captured Moment United Healthcare CEO Fatally Shot, Police Say Targeted Attack

United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was shot and killed outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel Wednesday morning.

The police believe this was a targeted attack.

As Thompson walks on the sidewalk, a masked gunman calmly steps out of the shadows and raises the gun, with silencer, and fires into his back.

After the shooting, he calmly walks off. No panic, just leaves.

People have pointed out that the conference was at 8am, so how did this shooter know he was going to arrive early?

Did someone leak info to the shooter?

The suspect fled the scene on a bicycle and remains at large.

Online sleuths think they’ve figured out what gun was used. It appears to be a weapon made around World War 2, a Welrod Mark IIA or a remake.

Seems events like UnitedHealthcare’s Brian Thompson getting fatally shot only happen when CEOs are on their way to testify against democrats. #BigPharma pic.twitter.com/3bbPhwzrQi

The Gateway Pundit reports:

United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in the chest Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan in what is believed to be a targeted attack.

Thompson, 50, arrived before 7 am for a conference when he was shot at multiple times by a masked man who police say was waiting for him to arrive, the New York Post reports.

Thompson was pronounced dead at the Mt Sinai Hospital.

No suspects are in custody, and police are looking for a male with a cream-colored jacket, black and white sneakers, and a grey backpack.

The shooter was not a guest at the hotel and was seen near the hotel prior to the shooting.

And he’s off, on the getaway bicycle.

It won’t be long before this person is caught.

Here is the culprit ten minutes before the murder:

People are trying to determine what kind of gun was used.

Turns out there are silencers that are quieter than an electric car turning on.

Is this the weapon?

Here you have it! The pistol used to kill Thompson. It has to be reloaded after every shot like a bolt action. A classic WW II era weapon. This was a professional hit. pic.twitter.com/f6bt2HQGyw

The Brian Thompson hit gun looks like a Welrod assassin's pistol from WW2, or a remake of it. The "silencer" is built-in. They can be tricky to operate which is why the shooter had trouble. pic.twitter.com/ijID8R1Zay
