https://www.startribune.com/unitedhealthcare-suspect-arrested-minnetonka-mn/601330966A suspect was arrested with a gun outside the UnitedHealthcare headquarters. Details not exact but we know the same guy had previously been arrested in January for making violent threats and sentenced to probation, and in typical Minnesota court fashion he violated the terms of his probation and had a warrant issued for him that was never enforced so he was still out on the streets. My googlefu can't turn up anything beyond him being a 26 year old and I can't get courts public access without a name. Don't know if it was a politically motivated wacko or just a wacko
Update on this one, it was a deranged stalker / schizo / nutcase with no political motive. Delusional wacko thinking a guy at unitedhealth was his brother. And was threatening to shoot up corporate offices as a hostage unless his other charges for threats were dismissed, because logic

After police searched his vehicle they found the revolver loaded with five bullets and 16 additional rounds in a baggie on the passenger seat.
Ian Wagner
Minnetonka police knew of Wagner’s history of mental health issues and threatening behavior. Wagner pleaded guilty in January to two threats of violence felonies and was sentenced to 120 days on house arrest and six years of probation. He has an open misdemeanor case in Hennepin County over a restraining order violation in 2024. In 2022, he was charged in St. Louis County with violating a restraining order.
Almost every criminal charge and civil action against Wagner — including several restraining orders — stem from his harassment of a man he knew while attending college at the University of Minnesota Duluth. A series of court filings show that Wagner would stalk the man’s friends on social media and post their photos and addresses. He also showed up at the man’s house and left “old rusty ax heads” and damaged the man’s car.
A petition for a restraining order filed by the man against Wagner in 2024, after a previous restraining order had expired, notes that Wagner “has a completely false belief we are related” and that Wagner told a Minnesota state trooper after he was pulled over in Willow River that he was headed to the Twin Cities to confront the man, who Wagner said was his half-brother.
Of course theres a pretty thin line to decipher between far left identity terrorists and just basket case schizos, and its not immediately obvious where all the cases fall. Pretty big overlap for a reason
