Luigi Mangione
Explores Gun Range During Thailand Vacation
… Just Months Prior to the Fatal Shooting

Luigi Mangione, the individual facing charges in the Brian Thompson murder case, made headlines for taking a break from his vacation in Thailand to visit a shooting range. This unexpected decision has raised eyebrows among his travel companions, who now reflect on the unusual circumstances surrounding their trip.

In a revealing episode of our new TMZ Investigates documentary, titled “Luigi Mangione: The Mind of a Killer,” two German tourists who traveled extensively with Luigi through various parts of Asia prior to the shooting reflect on their experiences. Their insights provide a unique perspective on Mangione’s behavior during their adventures, highlighting potential red flags that seemed apparent in hindsight.

Paul and Max, Luigi’s travel companions, recounted how he opted to skip a day at the beach in favor of visiting a shooting range, even sharing that the experience was costly. However, this was just one of the many peculiar actions they observed during their time with him, leading them to question his mental state.

Additionally, Paul and Max noted Luigi’s intense fascination with a book authored by Indian writer Jash Dholani, titled “Hit Reverse: New Ideas From Old Books.” His obsession was so profound that he bought 400 copies and traveled to Mumbai to meet Dholani personally, eager to provide feedback on the book. This unusual behavior further piqued their curiosity about his mindset.

The text of this book may offer critical insights into Luigi’s radicalization, leading him to allegedly commit the violent act against a healthcare CEO. Furthermore, our documentary delves into his fixation on another book that critiques corporate greed, which seemingly fueled his motive for the crime.

Throughout our investigation, it becomes evident that Luigi’s grievances did not stem specifically from the healthcare system; rather, he seemed more preoccupied with the broader concept of corporate greed, perceiving the American healthcare system as a prime example of this issue. This perspective raises questions about his motivations and mindset.

Our forthcoming documentary also sheds light on the absence of any direct experience Luigi had with healthcare that could have incited him to allegedly target the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. Instead, it appears that signs of mental illness may have existed, which could present a compelling defense argument during the trial.

TMZ Investigates: “Luigi Mangione: The Mind Of A Killer” is set to premiere tonight at 8 PM, 7 PM Central on FOX.
