The suspect, identified by police as Luigi Nicholas Mangione, had a gun believed to be the one used in Wednesday’s attack on Brian Thompson , as well as writings expressing anger at corporate America, police said. Here are some of the latest developments in the ongoing investigation: Where was the man captured? Mangione was taken into custody at around 9:15 a.m. after police received a tip that he was eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 85 miles (137 kilometers) east of Pittsburgh, police said.

What evidence did police find? In addition to a three-page, handwritten document that suggests he harbored “ill will toward corporate America,” Kenny said Mangione also had a ghost gun , a type of weapon that can be assembled at home and is difficult to trace. Officers questioned Mangione, who was acting suspiciously and carrying multiple fraudulent IDs, as well as a U.S. passport, New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference. Officers also found a suppressor, “consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” the commissioner said. He had clothing and a mask similar to those worn by the shooter and a fraudulent New Jersey ID matching one the suspect used to check into a New York City hostel before the shooting, Tisch said. What do we know about Mangione? Kenny said Mangione was born and raised in Maryland, has ties to San Francisco and that his last known address is in Honolulu, Hawaii. Mangione, who was valedictorian of his Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press on Monday. He 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 social media 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 at the Jersey Shore and in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, and other destinations. The Gilman School, from which Mangione graduated in 2016, is one of Baltimore’s elite prep schools. Some of the city’s wealthiest and most prominent people, including Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., have had children attend the school. Its alumni include sportswriter Frank Deford and former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. In his valedictory speech, Luigi Mangione described his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things,” according to a post on the school website. He praised their collective inventiveness and pioneering mindset. Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione 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, Baltimore County police officers 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. Luigi Mangione is one of 37 grandchildren of Nick Mangione, according to his obituary. Luigi Mangione's grandparents donated to charities through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating Nick Mangione’s wife’s death in 2023. They donated to various causes ranging from Catholic organizations to colleges and the arts. One of Luigi Mangione’s cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione. A spokesman for the lawmaker's office confirmed the relationship Monday. The shooting and a quick escape Police said the person who killed Thompson left a hostel on Manhattan's Upper West Side at 5:41 a.m. on Wednesday. Just 11 minutes later, he was seen on surveillance video walking back and forth in front of the New York Hilton Midtown, wearing a distinctive backpack. At 6:44 a.m., he shot Thompson at a side entrance to the hotel, fled on foot, then climbed aboard a bicycle and within four minutes had entered Central Park. Another security camera recorded the gunman leaving the park near the American Museum of Natural History at 6:56 a.m. still on the bicycle but without the backpack. After getting in a taxi, he headed north to a bus terminal near the George Washington Bridge, arriving at around 7:30 a.m. From there, the trail of video evidence runs cold. Police have not located video of the suspected shooter exiting the building, leading them to believe he likely took a bus out of town. Police said they are still investigating the path the suspect took to Pennsylvania. “This just happened this morning," Kenny said. "We’ll be working, backtracking his steps from New York to Altoona, Pennsylvania,” Kenny said.

Neil Critchley will time Hearts contract talks for ultimate protection as Lawrence Shankland and others see deals tick downBy MIKE CATALINI CHATHAM, N.J. (AP) — That buzzing coming out of New Jersey? It’s unclear if it’s drones or something else, but for sure the nighttime sightings are producing tons of talk, a raft of conspiracy theories and craned necks looking skyward. Related Articles National News | FACT FOCUS: Inspector general’s Jan. 6 report misrepresented as proof of FBI setup National News | OpenAI whistleblower found dead in San Francisco apartment National News | Judge rejects an attempt by Trump campaign lawyer to invalidate guilty plea in Georgia election case National News | Texas’ abortion pill lawsuit against New York doctor marks new challenge to interstate telemedicine National News | US military flies American released from Syrian prison to Jordan, officials say Cropping up on local news and social media sites around Thanksgiving, the saga of the drones reported over New Jersey has reached incredible heights. This week seems to have begun a new, higher-profile chapter: Lawmakers are demanding (but so far not getting) explanations from federal and state authorities about what’s behind them. Gov. Phil Murphy wrote to President Joe Biden asking for answers. New Jersey’s new senator, Andy Kim, spent Thursday night on a drone hunt in rural northern New Jersey, and posted about it on X. But perhaps the most fantastic development is the dizzying proliferation of conspiracies — none of which has been confirmed or suggested by federal and state officials who say they’re looking into what’s happening. It has become shorthand to refer to the flying machines as drones, but there are questions about whether what people are seeing are unmanned aircraft or something else. Some theorize the drones came from an Iranian mothership. Others think they are the Secret Service making sure President-elect Donald Trump’s Bedminster property is secure. Others worry about China. The deep state. And on. In the face of uncertainty, people have done what they do in 2024: Create a social media group. The Facebook page, New Jersey Mystery Drones — let’s solve it , has nearly 44,000 members, up from 39,000 late Thursday. People are posting their photo and video sightings, and the online commenters take it from there. One video shows a whitish light flying in a darkened sky, and one commenter concludes it’s otherworldly. “Straight up orbs,” the person says. Others weigh in to say it’s a plane or maybe a satellite. Another group called for hunting the drones literally, shooting them down like turkeys. (Do not shoot at anything in the sky, experts warn.) Trisha Bushey, 48, of Lebanon Township, New Jersey, lives near Round Valley Reservoir where there have been numerous sightings. She said she first posted photos online last month wondering what the objects were and became convinced they were drones when she saw how they moved and when her son showed her on a flight tracking site that no planes were around. Now she’s glued to the Mystery Drones page, she said. “I find myself — instead of Christmas shopping or cleaning my house — checking it,” she said. She doesn’t buy what the governor said, that the drones aren’t a risk to public safety. Murphy told Biden on Friday that residents need answers. The federal Homeland Security Department and FBI also said in a joint statement they have no evidence that the sightings pose “a national security or public safety threat or have a foreign nexus.” “How can you say it’s not posing a threat if you don’t know what it is?” she said. “I think that’s why so many people are uneasy.” Then there’s the notion that people could misunderstand what they’re seeing. William Austin is the president of Warren County Community College, which has a drone technology degree program, and is coincidentally located in one of the sighting hotspots. Austin says he has looked at videos of purported drones and that airplanes are being misidentified as drones. He cited an optical effect called parallax, which is the apparent shift of an object when viewed from different perspectives. Austin encouraged people to download flight and drone tracker apps so they can better understand what they’re looking at. Nonetheless, people continue to come up with their own theories. “It represents the United States of America in 2024,” Austin said. “We’ve lost trust in our institutions, and we need it.” Federal officials echo Austin’s view that many of the sightings are piloted aircraft such as planes and helicopters being mistaken for drones, according to lawmakers and Murphy. That’s not really convincing for many, though, who are homing in on the sightings beyond just New Jersey and the East Coast, where others have reported seeing the objects. For Seph Divine, 34, another member of the drone hunting group who lives in Eugene, Oregon, it feels as if it’s up to citizen sleuths to solve the mystery. He said he tries to be a voice of reason, encouraging people to fact check their information, while also asking probing questions. “My main goal is I don’t want people to be caught up in the hysteria and I also want people to not just ignore it at the same time,” he said. “Whether or not it’s foreign military or some secret access program or something otherworldly, whatever it is, all I’m saying is it’s alarming that this is happening so suddenly and so consistently for hours at a time,” he added.

A chip shop owner whose flood-plagued business has been left uninsurable says he may be forced to close down. Abdul Chowdry's shop on Mill Street, Pontypridd, was hit when Storm Bert caused flooding in the town last Sunday. He said he had to downsize after Storm Dennis , in February 2020, and was left unable to sell his business. Other shop owners on Mill Street in the Rhondda Cynon Taf town have said they will have to pay out of their own pockets to recover from the damage caused by Storm Bert. Mr Chowdry has run the chippy for 10 years, but said he feels stuck as he cannot get insurance or any flood cover, with the latest storm costing about £10,000 in damages. "I can't sell this place," he said. "No-one will buy it, I won't even get what I paid for it. "We used to be a busy street. But the last two to three years business is slow. We are just about surviving. "I can only have part-time staff, can't afford to hire anyone. I used to work eight hours a day, now I work 10 to 12 hours, just to stand still." On Wednesday, Mr Chowdry hoped to have his business back open, but his range had stopped working due to the flood water. "In 2020, it took six months to get back to normal," he added. "This time, there is no insurance at all. There's not as much damage this time but, financially, we are in trouble. "I can't pay the wages at the moment, I will have to let staff go." Several other business owners moved to Mill Street when previous tenants left after Storm Dennis - and the extent of the damage last weekend came as a shock. Jeff Baxter, 54, who runs a bookshop, said: "In a way we jumped in their grave. At the time, we were aware that we won't get flood cover. "But the talk during the previous floods was that storm Dennis was a 'once-in-a-50-years' kind of event. "The rents were reasonable and cheap, so we went with it." He said he had lost about £20,000-worth of stock in the floods. "My attitude was that we get a lot of yellow warnings and they can pass over quite quickly," he added. "It was all fine and then suddenly water started shooting through the drains." He continued: "It was gutting, but the pictures of people's homes are 100 times worse. I had a warm home to go to, and books can be reprinted." Mr Baxter had planned to move into the larger unit two doors down from his current shop in January. But this will now be pushed back to at least mid-March. He said the support of locals and the wider book community had been excellent, calling the situation a "wake-up call". "People always want to blame other people, but I take responsibility. I don't have flood gates, I've been a little bit complacent and naïve," he said. "With the effects of climate change, people want to bury their heads in the sand, they don't want to face reality." However, he said a long-term solution to the insurance issue facing the street was crucial. Mr Baxter added: "The fact companies get to put a blanket ban [on an area] is a problem and the only solution is government intervention. "It's not that people are not prepared to pay but, after all Pontypridd has gone through, we could use that legislative support to give us a chance to help ourselves." Enrico Orsi, 33, who runs a small cafe with six employees, said the business he took over from was "devastated" after Storm Dennis. He was on the street when Storm Bert hit, taking deliveries, which allowed him to put sandbags in place. "If I hadn't been there on time, we would've had more damage than we did, which given that we can't get insurance for flood damage is a relief," he said. "I think I got lucky, I don't think I would've been able to stay open if we had had more damage." Jayne Coleman, 59, moved into her home store in March 2022 and explained Mill Street had the "unique problem" of experiencing flooding both from the drains at the front of the shops, and the River Rhondda to the rear. "Most insurers don't cover this area... [or] the premium is prohibitive," she said. While some furniture and stock was damaged, she believes she was lucky compared with neighbours. "The system that had been put in place after Storm Dennis all seemed to fail," she said. "Who's responsible? "The blame game has already started... But where does the buck stop?" James Payne, 31, of Your Pontypridd - a not-for-profit organisation funded by local businesses - said it was worrying none of the shops had insurance. "I think the first one, Storm Dennis, was so unexpected, it affected all of the town centre," he added, "It's not as bad this time, not as many properties impacted. "But we will be working for the businesses in the area to make sure they have all the support they need and can get." Rhondda Cynon Taf council said it would offer a £1,000 Community Flood Recovery Grant, additional to a Welsh government's scheme, for both residents and businesses, as well as discretional funding for flood-prevention measures. It vowed to work with all other organisations "to better understand what could or can be done to reduce the risk to properties and ensure that whoever is responsible can act on the findings". Dominic Driver, Storm Bert duty strategic manager for Natural Resources Wales (NRW), said steps were taken in the week before the adverse weather began, "to ensure we were ready to tackle whatever the storm would bring". Mr Driver said a flood alert for Pontypridd was issued on Saturday, "giving people advance warning that flooding was possible, and to be prepared", plus an additional warning on Sunday morning when "the river [Taff] reached the flood warning trigger level". He said "recovery and review work" would now follow. Welsh Water said flooding in Mill Street was an issue with highway drainage, with the responsibility resting with Rhondda Cynon Taf council. A spokesman said that drains had been overwhelmed. Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has been asked to comment but, in a statement on Friday, it said it was reviewing what had happened. The Met Office said it was important to note there was a difference between its severe weather warnings and the flood alerts, but added: "A full assessment of the forecast and warning strategy will take place with our partners... lessons learned will look at how links in the chain can be improved to help the UK prepare even more for weather impacts especially as they will increase with climate change." The Welsh government said it was offering affected households up to £1,000, adding businesses should contact Business Wales, with further dedicated support to be considered "as the impact of Storm Bert becomes better understood". It said the UK government, which has been asked for comment, set private insurance parameters and it was not in the control of the Welsh government.

AP News Summary at 5:17 p.m. ESTKey details to know about the arrest of a suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEORepresentative image NEW DELHI: Retail sales of vehicles across categories in India grew 11.2% at 32,08,719 units in Nov, as compared to 28,85,317 units in same month last year, riding on two-wheeler demand, Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) said in Monday. Retail sales of two-wheelers were at 26,15,953 units last month compared to 22,58,970 units in Nov 2023, a growth of 15.8% buoyed by the festive spillover. On the other hand, passenger vehicle (PV) retail was down 13.7% at 3,21,943 units, as against 3,73,140 units in the year-ago month. The PV segment faced notable headwinds, FADA said. "While Nov was initially expected to build on prior momentum, particularly due to marriage season, dealer feedback suggests this segment underperformed expectations," FADA president C S Vigneshwar said. "Although rural markets offered some support, in the two-wheeler category, marriage-related sales remained subdued." On PV retail, he said, "dealers cited weak sentiment, limited product variety and insufficient new launches for weak performance." Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .
