Where Was Luigi Mangione Found?

Mangione was discovered in a McDonald’s “acting suspiciously,” Tisch said, and carrying a fake New Jersey ID with the same name used at a Manhattan hostel that the alleged shooter used to check in last month, per NBC.

He was also found with a gun and suppressor that were “both consistent with the weapon used in the murder,” Tisch said, adding that there was also a three-page document, handwritten, noting possible “motivation and mindset.”

Authorities did not release details, although CNN is reporting that the document included the phrases, “These parasites had it coming,” and “I do apologize for any strife and trauma, but it had to be done.”
