New York City Mayor Eric Adams is expected to speak at a scheduled news conference around 1:30 p.m. ET. He will be joined by police officials

As well as the name on the fake ID!

Maybe folks in western PA are looser-lipped than the honchos at UHG and NYPD and we've gotten used to the latter

The exact location of the McDonald's branch where customers may have flagged down Thompson's shooter has been revealed.

According to the New York Times, cops snagged the person of interest inside the McDonald's at 407 East Plank Road in the south of Altoona, Pennslyvania.

The newspaper said a 911 call was made from the cafe at around 9.15am on Monday.

Gosh. If you were smart you would have ditched the "Marc Rosario" ID. Gave him far too much credit.

<edited - spelling>

…the gun, the suppressor, the ID, the black puffy coat, the surgical type mask. Maybe he only really wanted to show that he could kill BT, and didn’t care what happened after. Maybe he was too tired to care.

Hope there's going to be an announcement of a police press conference soon.

I really hope Adams handles the PC professionally.

Agree, not like the last time him saying what he did and getting the publicity.

 

[Chimera]

I wonder, if in his writings, he had a list of potential targets.

Tbh, it wouldn't surprise me.
Omo.

In the fall of 2016, Engineering sophomore Luigi Mangione started UPGRADE because he could not find any game development groups at the Student Activities Council's fall activities fair. Mangione publicized UPGRADE on his class Facebook group, and a small core of freshmen soon grew to become a club with 60 members, including upperclassmen.

The man arrested is Luigi Mangione. His Facebook notes that he used to intern at Firaxis. He has a very deep digital footprint, which I'm sure will be picked over for the next few days (especially his Goodreads, oh boy).

Hey Everyone,
I'll be closing this thread within the next 45 minutes and starting a new one.
Before then can someone please post a link that either suggests or states what type of weapon was used? There is confusion, and people are posting facts with no link about the gun.
Thank you,
Tricia

Again I have to wonder why in the ever loving heck would the most sought after fugitive right now walk into a McDonalds of all places???? Makes no sense to me unless they want to be seen. JMO

Because he decided "I deserve a break today, I'm gonna get up and get away..."
