Man arrested outside UnitedHealthcare campus in Minnesota

A person with a gun who police say was trying to get attention was apprehended late Monday morning on UnitedHealthcare’s campus in Minnesota.

A person with a gun who police say was trying to get attention was apprehended late Monday morning on UnitedHealthcare’s campus in Minnesota.

No one was hurt at the health insurance company's headquarters in Minnetonka, and the man, who had parked his vehicle near a loading dock, surrendered after about an hour of negotiations, Minnetonka police spokeswoman Jessica Case said.

The incident happened more than four months after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot in New York City in an ambush killing that police said was targeted.

The man arrested Monday said he went near UnitedHealthcare and called in only because he thought it would get attention and maybe help him with his past criminal cases, Case said.

The FBI said the man called the agency's Minneapolis field office around 10:45 a.m. "and issued threats of violence directed at the United Healthcare facility if specific demands were not met."
