Originally Published 1 year ago — by Star Tribune
A day after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was killed in New York City, two homes owned by his family in Maple Grove, Minnesota, were targeted by a fake bomb threat, which police classified as a 'swatting' incident. No suspicious items were found, and the case remains under investigation. Swatting, the act of falsely reporting an emergency to provoke a police response, has been elevated to a felony in Minnesota. Meanwhile, New York police are searching for a suspect in Thompson's murder, which they believe was a targeted attack.
