CNBC reports that the gunman used a silencer. Wtf?
And had been waiting outside for him for at least 20 minutes... certainly targeted.
And maybe silenced? seems like professional hit from details so far.

In all seriousness: silencers are legally available in most states. It just takes a while for the paperwork to go through (8-10 months).

Murder is wrong and should never be celebrated. Even if you thought someone were evil, murdering a person is inherently evil. What line of thinking led you to make this comment? Do you disagree with any of my positions? If yes, which and why?
Many of the people commenting on this story have diseased souls.

#35Do a search for 'UnitedHealth uses faulty AI to deny elderly patients' and see what comes up.
I'm not saying this is deserved, more that I'm surprised it's taken this long for someone to just up and execute an insurance CEO.

#38Propaganda of the deed?
I guess suspects will be a list of people who have been paying into United Health Care insurance who thought they were covered, but got turned down, possibly for a terminal illness, for greater profits.

It's still slightly impressive. The lobby of that hotel takes up half a city block and has many entrances and exits. There are lots of ways to get in that are not necessarily the front door.
If I were approaching this professionally I'd be waiting near the check-in desk or elevators.
