Moments after Luigi Mangione was handcuffed at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s, a police officer searching his backpack found a loaded gun magazine wrapped in a pair of underwear.

The discovery, recounted in court Monday as Mangione fights to keep evidence out of his New York murder case, convinced police in Altoona, Pennsylvania, that he was the man wanted in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan five days earlier.

No way to know if those bullets and other objects on the bag were there or were planted by the cops.

This. They didn't find the gun or the manifesto until after the bag was taken to the station. Haven't seen the bodycam video, but cops carry 9mm pistols, so it would be incredibly easy for them to plant a mag during his being detained. A gun would be easy to plant once at the station, where they also just happened to 'find' his 'manifesto'.

My hunch is that the shooter, whoever it was, dumped the gun, silencer, and manifesto somewhere and the cops found it. When they decided they had the shooter in custody, they 'found' the evidence in his possession.

Why go through the trouble of makkng a "ghost gun" if you're going to keep stuff like this? It doesn't really make sense.

Wasn’t the official story such that a search at the scene of arrest found nothing, but suddenly the gun was found on search once the bag was in police custody in a second location? It’s hard to keep track of the truth in 2025.

After an 11-minute car ride with no video. Suddenly, there's a gun in the side pocket, one that was conveniently overlooked before.

In the part of rural Pennsylvania where people have guns. Yeah, Ok.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

I know I don't have a gun, but I have a hard time that you'd bring more than the single magazine you'd have loaded in the gun if your intention is to kill someone then disappear.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (9 children)

"A loaded gun magazine" aka just a magazine, you don't describe a magazine as loaded. They just wanted to use the word loaded to make it seem more dangerous so the jury sees him as violent
