"This morning, at approximately 9:14 a.m., Altoona Police officers received a call of a suspicious male at a local restaurant. It was reported that the male matched the description of the UnitedHealthcare murder (suspect) of New York City. When officers arrived, they made contact with a male with a face mask on. That male was asked to remove his face mask and officers immediately recognized him as a suspect in the New York City shooting in recent days. That male was asked for a form of identification. He then provided a fake identification card out of New Jersey."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Deputy Chief Derek Swope, Altoona Police Department:
"Once he was taken into custody for that forgery charge, he was transported to the Altoona Police Department. Once at Altoona Police Department, that male was searched and sent to arrest. It was discovered that he had a United States passport that identified him as, excuse me, Luigi Mangione. From there, continued search of his property. A firearm was located and a suppressor was also located. There are also other items of evidentiary value that were located that would assist in this investigation."

"I want to begin by thanking our fellow Pennsylvania resident who acted as a hero today, Pennsylvania resident saw something early this morning at McDonald’s and said something to our local police and our local police here in Altoona acted swiftly. I want to say a special thanks to Officer Tyler Frye of the Altoona Police Department. Officer Frye’s about six months into his time serving his fellow people here in Pennsylvania, and he acted swiftly. He acted with smarts and he acted with calm."

STORYLINE:
Police arrested a suspect Monday in the brazen Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO after a quick-thinking McDonald’s customer in Pennsylvania spotted a man who officers found with a gun, mask and writings linking him to the ambush.
The handwritten document “speaks to both his motivation and mindset,” Tisch said.
