'Our hearts go out to everyone affected' - Mangione's former schoolpublished at 21:47 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December
An email sent to past students by the headmaster of the Gilman School, the private all-boys school in Baltimore, Maryland, previously attended by Luigi Mangione calls the fatal shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the subsequent arrest "deeply distressing".
"We recently became aware that the person arrested in connection with the killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO is a Gilman alumnus," Henry Smyth, the head of the school, wrote.
"We do not have any information other than what is being reported in the news," he said.
"This is deeply distressing news on top of an already awful situation. Our hearts go out to everyone affected," he added.
"Here on campus, our focus will remain on caring for and educating the boys."
