In short:

UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson was shot dead out the front of a hotel on Wednesday in what police are calling a “premeditated, targeted attack”.

The first unmasked photographs of a person of interest in the case have been released by the New York Police Department.

Multiple US media organisations, citing unnamed investigators, say the ammunition used to shoot Mr Thompson were inscribed with the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose”.

      Fair correction, thanks. Lots of it is illegal (hence some of those legal tactics mentioned on the shell casings), it’s simply just not punished justly by the legal system. It’s a distinction worth making, even if the material end result is similar.
