People don't easily get close to most high profile CEOs. Either a severe lapse of security (unlikely) or targted/planned like title suggests.
Or maybe just a random 'asylum seeker' at the right place. 72 hour rule or something.
edit: or as u/blacksmith21 suggests, maybe he was doing someone's wife.
It really depends on the threat level. I've seen CEOs of big companies with no security, maybe a driver. I was working in the C-suite for a major defense contractor and the CEO had a detail of 2 with her inside the inner sanctum which went to a detail of 4 as soon as she left the suite.
This guy may have been banging someone's wife and took a bullet for it.
This is the same company that allowed the largest healthcare data breach in the history of this country in just October. Tim Walz just took to social media to express his condolences. His insurance company is based out of Walz's home state of Minnesota. Wtf is going on here? Something tells me that there is much more to this story than meets the eye...
Yes. It sounds like a hit man which would cost a lot more than some family’s medical bill & upset that their claim was not accepted.
He was on someone's docket.
Or the shooter could have a loved one (wife? child?) who was denied coverage for critically needed medical care by UHC and ultimately died.
That's in the option matrix as well. Even odds we ever find out why.
That’s not likely. UHC is actually excellent insurance. We’ve had it as has my parents
I’ve known lots of CEOs that have no security.
Hell, I met the owner of a multibillion dollar cable company at a sportsbar. Just drinking wine and chatting up everyone.
But the CEO of a health insurance company probably is a more dangerous one than most.
Deny a treatment for somebody’s child that results in the child’s death - not long before a pissed off enough parent is willing to do something about it. One smart enough and motivated enough might very well figure out how to find the CEO.
Hell, my best friend is CEO of a major coal conglomerate and gets the occasional whacky environmentalist email. He has no security.
That was my first thought.
Or jabbed someone wife and killed her
He knew too much 👀☕️
I bet there will be others soon....
