12月5日,美国最大医疗保险公司联合健康遭遇重大动荡,当天盘中股价一度大跌5.01%,引发市场广泛关注。
根据警方通报,当天上午,联合健康旗下联合健康保险公司首席执行官布莱恩·汤普森在纽约曼哈顿中城一家酒店外遭枪手伏击身亡。事件发生时,联合健康正在该酒店召开年度投资者大会。
警方透露,监控视频显示,汤普森当时正独自步行前往会议场地,一名蒙面男子从背后持枪朝他射击数枪后迅速逃离现场。汤普森当场重伤,后经抢救无效不治身亡。目前警方正在全力追捕这名作案嫌疑人。
分析人士指出,作为联合健康集团保险业务的主要负责人遭人枪杀,无疑给这家医疗保险巨头带来了巨大不确定性,投资者对此事件的反应导致当天公司股价大幅下挫。同时,事件的突发性和暴力程度也加剧了市场的恐慌情绪。
