Re: UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was fatally shot

Hit Men Aren't What You Think

It remains unclear what happened to the UnitedHealthcare CEO in
Manhattan. One explanation may be less likely.

Many who noted the details of the shooting had an immediate question:
Is this what a professional hit looks like in real life? The NYPD has
said nothing of the sort, but that didn't stop speculation from
running rampant online on Wednesday. Dennis Kenney, a professor at
John Jay College of Criminal Justice with decades of expertise
studying professional killers, had unique perspective on that. He's
spent time over the years dispelling myths about contract killings
borne of movies and Law & Order episodes. He told me he found aspects
of the attack peculiar, and agreed to talk to me while emphasizing
that it's too early to draw definitive conclusions about a crime for
which very little information has been released. Our conversation has
been condensed and edited.
