Brian Thompson, the US health care insurance CEO who was gunned down in an apparent targeted attack in Manhattan on Wednesday, had been receiving threats related to medical "coverage", according to his widow. "There had been some threats," Paulette Thompson told NBC. "Basically, I don’t know, a lack of [medical] coverage? I don’t know details."

The healthcare executive and Maple Grove resident, shot and killed in New York on Wednesday morning, was remembered by coworkers and community members as a leader and devoted dad.
