Mangione was found with a firearm and several fake IDs, including one matching a fraudulent New Jersey ID used to book a hostel in New York before the shooting. Police also discovered a disturbing document expressing hostility towards the healthcare industry and suggesting violence as a solution. Investigators believe he acted alone and are working to extradite him to New York for further questioning.

Meanwhile, a backpack linked to him was found in Central Park containing Monopoly money and a jacket. As the investigation unfolds, authorities are piecing together the events that led to this tragic incident.
