Luigi Mangione pleads guilty to federal charges in connection with the fatal shooting of healthcare boss Brian Thompson
The 50-year-old father-of-two was shot in the back as he left his hotel in New York in 2024 .
“I shot Mr Thompson,” Mangione tells the court, according to US media; Thompson’s family are emotional as they watch on
Mangione, 28, still faces a separate state trial over Thompson’s death; he previously pleaded not guilty to those charges
What happens now? His lawyers may try to get the state trial thrown out by arguing he cannot be tried for the same crime twice, known as double jeopardy
