Chilling video shows the moments a gunman calmly shot down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson at close range on the streets of Midtown Manhattan.

Cops are probing whether the weapon used to kill United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was a “veterinary” gun commonly used to euthanize animals, an NYPD official said.

“When he fires that shot, the next thing that happens is not him trying to fire a second shot and having the gun jam – that’s not what occurs,” Monaghan said while surveillance video of the slaying played on the screen. “So that gun is built to be racked after every shot. It’s a very unique weapon. The length of the barrel in that video right there tells us it most probably is a veterinary pistol,” Monaghan told CNN hosts Kaitlan Collins and Mark Morales. The firearm used to kill Brian Thompson “appears to be a larger handgun” similar to the style of a veterinary gun, said NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.
