The New York Post reports:
Chilling video shows the moments a gunman calmly shot down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson at close range on the streets of Midtown Manhattan. In the video, the unidentified assailant — clad in a black hoodie, black pants, gloves and wearing a gray backpack — can be seen methodically firing what appears to be a single-action handgun at the CEO, pulling back the slide with each shot.
Thompson stumbles back upon the first shot, which appears to hit him in the back, briefly turning to face the shooter before falling to the sidewalk and attempting to crawl away as the gunman continues firing. It appeared the shooter’s weapon jammed up at some point as he fired, and he had to adjust the gun to fix the jam so he could keep firing, suggesting the attacker has some degree of familiarity with firearms.

The NYPD has shared the video to their Crime Stoppers account but tips by the public appear unlikely due to the gunman’s mask and hoodie.
The gunman reportedly fled the area into Central Park on a rented electric Citibike and a massive citywide manhunt continues.
The cult, meanwhile, is spreading the usual QAnon claims about Thompson having been assassinated by the Deep State because he was about to expose prominent Democrats/liberals for something something Pizzagate, chemtrails, adrenochrome.
