Luigi Nicholas Mangione, the suspect in the fatal shooting of a healthcare executive in New York City, apparently was living a charmed life: the grandson of a wealthy real estate developer, valedictorian of his elite Baltimore prep school and with degrees from one of the nation's top private universities. Friends at an exclusive co-living space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Hawaii where the 26-year-old Mangione once lived widely considered him a “great guy,” and pictures on his social media accounts show a fit, smiling, handsome young man on beaches and at parties. Now, investigators in New York and Pennsylvania are working to piece together why Mangione may have diverged from this path to make the violent and radical decision to gun down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a brazen attack on a Manhattan street. The killing sparked widespread discussions about corporate greed, unfairness in the medical insurance industry and even inspired folk-hero sentiment toward his killer. But Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro sharply refuted that perception after Mangione's arrest on Monday when a customer at a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania spotted Mangione eating and noticed he resembled the shooting suspect in security-camera photos released by New York police. “In some dark corners, this killer is being hailed as a hero. Hear me on this, he is no hero,” Shapiro said. “The real hero in this story is the person who called 911 at McDonald’s this morning.” Mangione comes from a prominent Maryland family. His grandfather, Nick Mangione, who died in 2008, was a successful real estate developer. One of his best-known projects was Turf Valley Resort, a sprawling luxury retreat and conference center outside Baltimore that he purchased in 1978. The Mangione family also purchased Hayfields Country Club north of Baltimore in 1986. On Monday, Baltimore County police officers blocked off an entrance to the property, which public records link to Luigi Mangione’s parents. Reporters and photographers gathered outside the entrance. The father of 10 children, Nick Mangione prepared his five sons — including Luigi Mangione’s father, Louis Mangione — to help manage the family business, according to a 2003 Washington Post report. Nick Mangione had 37 grandchildren, including Luigi, according to the grandfather's obituary. Luigi Mangione’s grandparents donated to charities through the Mangione Family Foundation, according to a statement from Loyola University commemorating Nick Mangione’s wife’s death in 2023. They donated to various causes, including Catholic organizations, colleges and the arts. One of Luigi Mangione’s cousins is Republican Maryland state legislator Nino Mangione, a spokesman for the lawmaker’s office confirmed. “Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” Mangione’s family said in a statement posted on social media by Nino Mangione. “We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved.” Mangione, who was valedictorian of his elite Maryland prep school, earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science in 2020 from the University of Pennsylvania, a university spokesman told The Associated Press. He learned to code in high school and helped start a club at Penn for people interested in gaming and game design, according to a 2018 story in Penn Today, a campus publication. His social media posts suggest he belonged to the fraternity Phi Kappa Psi. They also show him taking part in a 2019 program at Stanford University, and in photos with family and friends at the Jersey Shore and in Hawaii, San Diego, Puerto Rico, and other destinations. The Gilman School, from which Mangione graduated in 2016, is one of Baltimore’s elite prep schools. The children of some of the city’s wealthiest and most prominent residents, including Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr., have attended the school. Its alumni include sportswriter Frank Deford and former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington. In his valedictory speech, Luigi Mangione described his classmates’ “incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.” Mangione took a software programming internship after high school at Maryland-based video game studio Firaxis, where he fixed bugs on the hit strategy game Civilization 6, according to a LinkedIn profile. Firaxis' parent company, Take-Two Interactive, said it would not comment on former employees. He more recently worked at the car-buying website TrueCar, but has not worked there since 2023, the head of the Santa Monica, California-based company confirmed to the AP. From January to June 2022, Mangione lived at Surfbreak, a “co-living” space at the edge of touristy Waikiki in Honolulu. Like other residents of the shared penthouse catering to remote workers, Mangione underwent a background check, said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for owner and founder R.J. Martin. “Luigi was just widely considered to be a great guy. There were no complaints,” Ryan said. “There was no sign that might point to these alleged crimes they’re saying he committed.” At Surfbreak, Martin learned Mangione had severe back pain from childhood that interfered with many aspects of his life, including surfing, Ryan said. “He went surfing with R.J. once but it didn’t work out because of his back,” Ryan said, but noted that Mangione and Martin often went together to a rock-climbing gym. Mangione left Surfbreak to get surgery on the mainland, Ryan said, then later returned to Honolulu and rented an apartment. An image posted to a social media account linked to Mangione showed what appeared to be an X-ray of a metal rod and multiple screws inserted into someone's lower spine. Martin stopped hearing from Mangione six months to a year ago. An X account linked to Mangione includes recent posts about the negative impact of smartphones on children; healthy eating and exercise habits; psychological theories; and a quote from Indian philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti about the dangers of becoming “well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Mangione likely was motivated by his anger at what he called “parasitic” health insurance companies and a disdain for corporate greed, according to a law enforcement bulletin obtained by AP. He wrote that the U.S. has the most expensive healthcare system in the world and that the profits of major corporations continue to rise while “our life expectancy” does not, according to the bulletin, based on a review of the suspect’s handwritten notes and social media posts. He appeared to view the targeted killing of the UnitedHealthcare CEO as a symbolic takedown, asserting in his note that he is the “first to face it with such brutal honesty,” the bulletin said. Mangione called “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski a “political revolutionary” and may have found inspiration from the man who carried out a series of bombings while railing against modern society and technology, the document said. Associated Press reporters Lea Skene in Baltimore; Jennifer Sinco Kelleher in Honolulu; Maryclaire Dale in Philadelphia; John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio; and Michael Kunzelman in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.
Kaapo Kakko scored the tiebreaking goal during a four-minute power play with 23 seconds left as the New York Rangers ended their first five-game losing streak in over three years with a 4-3 victory over the visiting Montreal Canadiens on Saturday afternoon. The Rangers, who had squandered a two-goal lead early in the third period, had the lengthy power play after the Canadiens' Kirby Dach high-sticked Mika Zibanejad behind the New York net. The Rangers cashed in after Montreal could not clear the defensive zone. Zac Jones made a backhand pass to the middle of the slot to Will Cuylle, who did the same to Kakko. Parked at the right side of the crease, Kakko lifted a one-timer over goalie Sam Montembeault's shoulder for his fourth goal of the season. Kakko's game-winner ended New York's longest losing streak since the final week of the 56-game 2021 pandemic-shortened season. The goal came after the Canadiens' Cole Caulfield and Nick Suzuki scored about 10 minutes apart for a temporary 3-3 tie. New York's Artemi Panarin and Zibanejad scored power-play goals in the opening 40 minutes while Vincent Trocheck also scored in the waning seconds of the first period before the Rangers recovered from blowing the lead. Rangers goalie Jonathan Quick made 25 saves a week after allowing six goals in a 6-2 loss at Edmonton. Mike Matheson also scored for the Canadiens. Montembeault made 24 saves. The Rangers went ahead 9:02 into the contest when Panarin lifted a shot from above the left circle over Montreal defenseman David Savard into the upper corner of the net. Montreal tied with 8:13 left when Matheson entered the offensive zone, stepped into a shot above the right hash marks and ripped a shot over Quick's right shoulder. After surviving Montreal's attempts at going ahead, the Rangers cycled the puck around the offensive zones in the final seconds of the first and took a 2-1 lead when Trocheck tipped in Alexis Lafreniere's shot from the right point with 4 seconds left. New York expanded its lead when Zibanejad faked a one-timer, waited for Chris Kreider to get in front of the net and sent a shot from between the circles by Montembeault. Caufield put a shot from the right circle by Quick at 4:16 into the third, and Suzuki slid the puck into the open net to forge a 3-3 tie nearly 10 minutes later. --Field Level MediaThe international community has been closely watching the developments in South Korea, with many expressing concern over the implications of arresting a sitting president. The United States, South Korea's key ally, has emphasized the importance of respect for the rule of law and due process in handling such cases.

Overall, the insights shared and ideas exchanged at the China Economic Roundtable serve as a powerful reminder of the collective commitment to building a more robust and dynamic economic ecosystem that will enable China to navigate the complexities of the global economy and emerge stronger and more prosperous in the years to come.Some Concord officials are hoping their City Council reconsiders its decision last week to grant a permit from the Satanic Temple to install a statue of an occult deity on Main Street in front of the State House. Over the objection of a “strongly opposed” Mayor Byron Champlin, the council majority approved a permit for the black goat-headed Baphomet with bright yellow eyes to be placed near the Nativity scene installed by the Grange and a scene about the Bill of Rights installed by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. The Satanic Temple is not the Church of Satan that advocates devil worship. The temple is a "non-theistic religion and sociopolitical movement that promotes empathy, equity, and social justice." The group espouses seven principles of harmony such as, “One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason" and “The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.” According to its website, the group’s “Satanic Representation Campaign ... promotes pluralism and fighting for the religious liberty of (temple) members who seek to freely and openly express their beliefs.” The icon is holding a bouquet of artificial lilacs in its right hand and an apple in its left, the latter depicting the group's “quest for knowledge," according to a spokesman. The statute and a glass plaque with the group’s seven principles was unveiled Saturday evening, witnessed by about a dozen followers from New Hampshire and Vermont and streamed live on Facebook. City officials posted a statement defending the decision to grant the permit. “Throughout the country, the Satanic Temple has both threatened and brought lawsuits under the First Amendment when excluded,” city officials posted on its Facebook page. “Under the First Amendment and to avoid litigation, the city needed to choose whether to ban all holiday displays installed by other groups, or otherwise, to allow it.” After the holidays, the Concord City Council will review whether to grant permits for unattended displays in the future. City Councilor at Large Amanda Grady Sexton was in the minority that opposed the permit. “This is an unfortunate distraction for the city of Concord. The voters in Concord want their councilors to focus on public safety, trash pick-up, and road paving and plowing,” Grady Sexton said. “We’re not here to debate the merits of Satan. If political groups want to have unattended displays located outside the State House they should apply for permits through the state of New Hampshire, not the city of Concord." Mayor Champlin voiced his opposition as well. These depict the seven principles of the Satanic Temple which are on display outside the State House Plaza in front of a demon after a majority on the Concord City Council agreed to grant the group a permit. “I am disappointed and hope that the council will reconsider this decision,” Champlin said. “In a season when most major religions celebrate peace, hope, joy, and light, an image of the prince of darkness on city property, sponsored by an organization based in New York, is inappropriate.” Other councilors said in granting the permit it was giving preference to respecting everyone’s First Amendment. The city’s statement attracted nearly 200 comments on social media, coming down on both sides of the issue. "The satanic church is not a sincere belief system for almost any of its 'following,' it is a protest movement made to offend and go against Christianity,” wrote A.J. Kierstead. “It is not made to show unity, it is made to disgust. It can’t believe the city would post something in this fashion." But Travis Beeson disagreed. “Love all the angry reactions this will get. Like y’all speak of the 1st Amendment but forget to realize this one part of it; glad to see Baphomet make an appearance,” Beeson said. Briana Therrien wondered what the fuss was all about. “There shouldn’t have even needed to be a discussion" Therrien said. "If the city so willingly includes the Nativity scene, then there’s no reason for any other religious statement to be discussed. The mission of the Satanic Temple is nothing but positive.” klandrigan@unionleader.com

ATNI stock touches 52-week low at $18.2 amid market challengesTORONTO - Canada’s main stock index lost more than 100 points Tuesday ahead of an expected interest rate cut Wednesday, while U.S. markets were also down. The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 121.09 points at 25,504.33. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 154.10 points at 44,247.83. The S&P 500 index was down 17.94 points at 6,034.91,while the Nasdaq composite was down 49.45 points at 19,687.24. “Relative to the churn we have seen in the markets the last few days ... today being a little bit of a boring day would be fairly welcome for many investors,” said Stephen Duench, vice-president and portfolio manager for AGF Investments Inc. Wednesday is set to be more exciting, with an interest rate cut expected in Canada and important consumer inflation data coming in the U.S. “I do expect a little bit more fireworks tomorrow,” said Duench. The Bank of Canada is widely expected to announce an outsized cut Wednesday of half a percentage point, he said. “Anything other than that would be a surprise.” The U.S. Federal Reserve has its last decision of the year scheduled for next week, and market watchers are leaning toward a smaller quarter-percentage-point cut there, said Duench. It would be the third cut this year after the central bank hiked rates to a two-decade high to fight inflation. The inflation report will be the last significant data point before the central bank’s decision, Duench said. If the inflation report shows price growth is proving more stubborn than expected, that could change the Fed’s thinking on rates next week, he said. “Maybe that’s part of the reason we’ve seen churn in the market the last few days in the U.S.” Beneath the surface, there was some movement in the tech sector, where Oracle sank 6.7 per cent after its latest earnings report missed expectations. Meanwhile, Google’s stock price rose by more than five per cent. The company on Tuesday unveiled its new chip meant for quantum computing. Duench said after the advent of artificial technology led a rally earlier this year, quantum computing could be another frontier for investors to keep an eye on. The Canadian dollar traded for 70.59 cents US compared with 70.77 cents US on Monday.
