Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.
The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.
Also, she apparently hadn’t even searched it well enough to notice a gun sitting in it…so not sure she’d have noticed a bomb in there anyway.
(Not that any of this isn’t a bullshit frame job, as that gun clearly got tossed in before her body camera got turned back on once back at the station)
