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.

    Ridiculous. There’s like ten thousand people who can testify that he was with them at the time of the shooting.

      The problem is that they’re all lying to cover for him. i know this because he was with me at the time. We were talking fashion, he was giving me tips.
