Newly obtained video shows the moment UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot at point-blank range outside the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning.

In the chilling video, obtained by Fox News Digital, Thompson is seen walking down a New York City sidewalk when a masked man wearing a black hoodie and carrying a backpack walks up behind him, raising a pistol with gloved hands.

The perpetrator fires several shots. At some point the gun seems to jam. The attacker then appears to slam the weapon on his side as he walks toward the victim, who tries to escape.

As he approaches Thompson, the man appears to continue to struggle with the pistol and may fire another shot at the victim, who appears to be having difficulty moving.
