Description
Naomi Ruchim has the latest on the investigation.
UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was killed in a shooting Wednesday morning outside a hotel in Midtown Manhattan, the NYPD says.
Police said the 50-year-old was shot once in the back and once in the leg in what appears to be a targeted attack. He was rushed to Mount Sinai West, but did not survive his injuries.
"I want to be clear, at this time, every indication is that this was a premeditated, preplanned, targeted attack," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a news conference later Wednesday morning.
A spokesperson for UnitedHealthcare told CBS News the shooting took place during the company's investors conference. It was scheduled to be livestreamed from a hotel ballroom starting at 8 a.m. but has now been canceled.
