Man arrested outside UnitedHealthcare campus in Minnesota (2025)

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 andcalled 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."

"While the investigation is still in its early stages, there is currently no indication that the individual had specific grievances against United Healthcare," the FBI said in a statement.

A UnitedHealth Group spokesperson also said there were no demands against it in the incident. "The safety and security of our colleagues is our top priority," the company statement said, and it thanked law enforcement.

The Minnetonka Police Department on Tuesday identified the suspect as Ian Wagner, 26.

He is charged with two counts of possession of ammunition/firearm and two counts of threats of violence, according to a criminal complaint. His bail was set at $300,000, the complaint indicates.

City spokesman Andy Wittenborg said the man has a history with Minnetonka police and is known to them. A gun was found in the passenger seat, he said.

A search of Wagner's vehicle turned up a .38-caliber revolver with five live rounds in the chamber, as well as a baggie with 16 additional rounds, according to the complaint.

Investigators also discovered a recorded 911 call from Monday morning in which Wagner allegedly told a dispatcher that he would shoot into the UnitedHealthcare building if criminal charges against him weren't dropped, the complaint said. According to the document, Wagner had an open felony case and an open misdemeanor case at the time.

Wagner has prior convictions for making violent threats and is therefore barred from possessing a gun and ammunition, the complaint said.

It was unclear wether Wagner had retained an attorney for the latest charges.

Thompson's slaying on Dec. 4 sparked a nationwide manhunt that ended five days later when Luigi Mangione, 26, was arrested at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, police said.

The slaying near the Hilton New York Midtown spurred a massive amount of online support for Mangione, who has been charged on state and federal counts.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has directedprosecutors to seek the death penalty, which defense lawyers called a “political stunt.”

Hours after the Dec. 4 shooting in New York, Thompson’s wife, Paulette Thompson, said her husband had been receiving threats.

"There had been some threats," she said. "Basically, I don’t know, a lack of coverage?I don’t know details. I just know that he said there were some people that had been threatening him."

In an unrelated matter, Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., lashed out at UnitedHealthcare on Monday afternoon foraggressively recouping loans it gave out tohealth careproviders affected by acyberattack last year.

The breach slowed or stopped payments to thousands offront-linemedical providers.

The company had helped many of those providers with interest-free loans until the mess could be hashed out. But now UnitedHealthcare isgoing after borrowers, demanding they “immediately repay” their outstanding balances, according todocuments viewed by CNBC.

“Imagine UnitedHealthcare going back on their word, after a payment crisis they were responsible for, with predatory practices on those who actually care for patients,” Murphy, a physician, said in a statement Monday. “They continue to double down on destroying their reputation.”
