A bounty hunter has shared insights into the recent shooting incident involving the UnitedHealthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. According to the bounty hunter, the individual responsible for the shooting is believed to not be a professional killer but rather someone dealing with psychological issues.

Zeke Unger, a liaison to the US Marshals, stated that based on the shooter's mannerisms and the weapon's failure during the incident, it is unlikely that the shooter was a professional or contract killer. Unger pointed out that the malfunction of the weapon, specifically the noise-suppression unit causing a major issue, is not characteristic of a hired killer.

Unger further expressed his belief that after reviewing video footage of the incident, the shooter exhibited signs of having psychological issues. He suggested that the shooting may have been driven by a desire for revenge rather than being a calculated hit.

The insights provided by the bounty hunter shed light on the possible motivations and characteristics of the individual behind the shooting. The investigation into the incident continues as authorities work to uncover more details surrounding the tragic event.
