An officer who escorted Luigi Mangione to an arraignment hearing after his December 2024 arrest revealed in court Tuesday what the accused murderer said while walking past spectators and reporters on his way out of the Pennsylvania courthouse.
“All of these people are here for a mass murderer? Wild,” Mangione allegedly said, according to Altoona Police Officer Stephen Fox.
Tuesday marked a year since Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, bringing an end to a five-day manhunt for the suspect in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City. Mangione, 27, was arraigned on the same day at the Blair County Courthouse.
He faces New York state charges, including one count of second-degree murder, seven counts of various weapons charges, and one count of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. Mangione was also charged with two federal counts of stalking, one count of murder through the use of a firearm, and one count of a firearms offense.
