When Mangione, the subject, was brought in for questioning on Monday, he had a ghost gun that may have been made with a 3D printer.

The Ghost Cannon had the ability to fire a nine-millimeter cartridge and a silencer.

According to authorities, Mangione was arrested on firearms charges.

The person of interest in the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson apparently gave a positive review of the Unabomber’s manifesto online earlier this year, praising the killer as a “political revolutionary.”

Police on Monday called Luigi Mangione a “strong person of interest” after taking him into custody in connection with the murder.

An account under that name on the book review website Goodreads, which also matches photos of the suspect on other social media platforms, gave Ted Kaczynski’s book four stars in January.

A document was found on the person in question, said NYPD Chief Detective Joseph Kenny on Monday.

It reportedly criticized the healthcare industry and said “it had to be done,” allegedly referring to the killing of a top healthcare executive, a law enforcement official told CNN.

“These parasites had it coming” and “I apologize for the hassle and trauma, but it had to be done,” the document read.

He was also found to be acting alone and self-financing.

Kenny said the document is currently in the possession of Altoona police.

“We do not believe there are specific threats to anyone else mentioned in this document, but it appears that he has some antipathy toward the American economy,” he added.

Authorities on Monday identified a “strong person of interest” who was arrested on firearms charges and questioned in connection with the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside his Manhattan hotel early Wednesday.

The man was identified Monday afternoon as Luigi Mangione, 26, who was recognized by the employee, authorities said at a news conference.

Mangione was eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, when he was recognized by a customer, who alerted an employee.

In recent days, the NYPD has released images of the suspect, some of which show him without a mask.

Luigi Mangione, 26, was born and raised in Maryland and until recently lived in Honolulu, Hawaii, Criminal Investigation Department Chief Joseph Kenny told reporters. He also has ties to San Francisco and may have attended college in Pennsylvania.

He has no criminal record in New York, Kenny added.

Kenny said his name hadn’t been on their radar until today.
