Luigi Mangione’s family breaks silence after Brian Thompson murder charge — as it’s revealed he spiraled after ‘traumatic’ surgery

The family of Luigi Mangione, the Ivy League graduate charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, said they were “devastated” by his arrest — as it was revealed the 26-year-old alleged gunman spiraled after undergoing “traumatic” back surgery.

“Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest,” the family said in a statement shared by his cousin Nino Mangione, a Republican Baltimore County delegate, late Monday.

“We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved. We are devastated by this news,” the Mangione family said.
