05.12.2024The Day Insurance Bullets Spoke
The morning brought news of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's assassination, with initial reports focusing on the premeditated nature of the attack. By early afternoon, investigators discovered messages written on bullet casings - "deny," "defend," "depose" - phrases linked to insurance claim denial tactics.
Evening developments revealed the suspect's face in surveillance footage, showing him smiling and unmasked at a Starbucks before the shooting. Police traced his movements to an Upper West Side hostel, where he allegedly used a fake New Jersey ID.
The assassination coverage overshadowed other significant developments: Syrian rebels entered Hama as government forces withdrew, the Supreme Court showed skepticism toward challenges to Tennessee's gender procedures ban, and Biden aides discussed preemptive pardons for officials potentially targeted by Trump's proposed FBI director Kash Patel.
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Northern California late evening, briefly triggering tsunami warnings.
