'Police Say Luigi Mangione, Suspected Killer of Insurance CEO, Had Ill Will Toward Corporate America' [View all]

"New York Police Department (NYPD) Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Mangione was in possession of a 9mm handgun—possibly a ghost gun made with numerous parts or a 3D printer—the type used to kill Thompson, as well as a silencer and what he described as an anti-corporate manifesto."

"Mangione admitted to killing Thompson in the manifesto, writing that he acted alone and was 'self-funded.'...'I do apologize for any strife or trauma,' the document stated, 'but it had to be done. These parasites had it coming.'"
