Police officers in Pennsylvania immediately recognized UnitedHealthcare CEO murder suspect in the back of a local McDonald’s.

In a press conference on Monday evening, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro hailed Altoona Police Officer Tyler Frye as a hero for his swift action in recognizing Luigi Mangione, 26.

“I want to say a special thanks to Officer Tyler Frye of the Altoona Police Department. Officer Frye was about six months into his time serving his fellow people here in Pennsylvania, and he acted swiftly,” Shapiro said.

“He acted with smarts, and he acted with calm. You know, safety often turns on the strength of the relationship between the community and law enforcement,” he said. “We have that strong relationship here in Altoona, and it was proven here today.”

Mangione, the suspect in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, started shaking when police in Altoona, Pennsylvania approached him Monday at a McDonald’s, court documents revealed.

He was wearing a blue medical mask and was looking at a silver laptop computer when officers approached him at the fast-food chain, court documents say.

Officers asked Mangione to pull down his mask and officers immediately recognized him as the suspect wanted for Thompson’s murder in NYC. Officers had seen photos of the suspect from media sources, court documents say.

Mangione gave officers a fake ID with the name Mark Rosario – police ran the ID and determined it to be fake. Officers then asked Mangione why he lied.

He replied, “I clearly shouldn’t have,” according to court documents. Mangione was then placed into custody.

Officers found a black 3D-printed pistol and a black silencer in Mangione’s backpack, court documents say. The pistol had a metal slide and a plastic handle with a metal threaded barrel.

The pistol had one loaded Glock magazine with six nine-millimeter full metal jacket rounds, documents said. Police said the silencer was also 3D printed.

Mangione has been charged in Pennsylvania with several crimes, according to court documents.

He was charged with forgery, firearms not to be carried without a license, tampering with records or identification, possessing instruments of a crime and false identification to law enforcement authorities, according to a police criminal complaint.

Alvin Bragg challenger Maud Maron says the fact that the Manhattan district attorney brought the Daniel Penny case to trial is a “clear indication of his bad judgment.” 

Daniel Penny was found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide Monday morning in the subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely. The 26-year-old Marine veteran grabbed Neely from behind in a chokehold after the 30-year-old schizophrenic homeless man, who had an active arrest warrant, stormed into the train shouting death threats while high on synthetic marijuana. 

“I think a lot of New Yorkers breathed a sigh of relief with this verdict because this was the case that should not have been,” Maron told “The Story” on Monday. “Really it shouldn’t have gone to a jury, because I think too many New Yorkers have been on the same kind of subway where there’s a person who’s mentally ill, or on drugs, or both and is acting in a violent or threatening way. I’ve been there. I know lots of other New Yorkers have and what Daniel Penny did was simply not criminal.” 

DANIEL PENNY FOUND NOT GUILTY IN SUBWAY CHOKEHOLD TRIAL 

Maron says that it is “tragic” that Jordan Neely died and nobody, including Daniel Penny, wanted him to die. 

“It’s very clear from the police who interviewed Daniel Penny and didn’t immediately bring charges, from the eyewitnesses on the subway who said that they felt threatened and they were grateful that he interacted, that the common sense understanding of what happened on the subway that day was not a crime, but it was a young man who had no criminal record, who has been in service to this country, who was really trying to do the right thing to protect people.”

The Manhattan DA candidate says it is up to the voters to remove Bragg from office. 

“It’s up to the voters of Manhattan who know that we need to have a different person in the district attorney’s office if we’re going to have a different result,” she told Fox News. “We need safety, and we need to get rid of Alvin Bragg.”

FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., is looking for answers from the FBI after a selection by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the bureau was reportedly targeted by Iranian hackers. 

“For an Iranian-backed group to have targeted the potential next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is extremely alarming. Also alarming is the speed at which sensitive and potentially classified information about this attack spread to the news media,” the North Carolina senator penned in a Monday letter to FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate.

It was reported by several outlets last week that Kash Patel, who Trump has chosen to be his nominee for FBI director in his new administration, was the target of an Iranian hacking attempt.

In response to reports of the hack attempt, Trump Transition spokesperson Alex Pfeiffer told Fox News Digital, “Kash Patel was a key part of the first Trump administration’s efforts against the terrorist Iranian regime and will implement President Trump’s policies to protect America from adversaries as the FBI Director.”

In his letter, Tillis pointed to various law enforcement sources that apparently communicated with news publications. 

“As you know, it is imperative that the FBI and other intelligence agencies maintain confidentiality to ensure the American people are safe from enemies at home and abroad. The release of this information raises major national security and personal safety concerns,” he wrote.

The FBI told Fox News Digital that it received the letter but had no further comment.

The Carolina Panthers’ fear regarding their rookie running back Jonathon Brooks was confirmed on Monday, as the second-round pick re-tore his ACL, rendering him out for the remainder of the season. 

It’s a sad situation for Brooks, the second-round pick out of Texas, as he tore the same right ACL he rehabbed from last year’s tear during his final season with the Longhorns, the team announced on Monday. 

Brooks had only returned to the Panthers three weeks ago, but an extensive rehab will be the plan yet again after getting his ligament repaired.

The injury was a non-contact situation, as Brooks tried to cut to his left, planting on his right foot, but he quickly went down as he felt something was wrong. It was only the first quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Brooks attempted to walk to the sideline on his own power, but he fell to the turf and needed help to get off the field. 

The running back tore his ACL in November 2023 during Texas’ run to the College Football Playoff, which was a tough blow not just for the Longhorns, but Brooks’ draft stock. 

Brooks totaled 1,139 rushing yards and 286 receiving yards with 11 total touchdowns over 11 games for the Longhorns prior to his injury in 2023 – his first year as a lead back in college football.

Many believed he would be a first-round selection because of his success in Austin last year, but he dropped to the second round where the Panthers snagged him No. 46 overall following the ACL injury. Teams knew he needed time to continue rehab, and the Panthers were willing to help him through that process.

There were some who questioned whether Brooks should even see the field this season, as Carolina once again had a rough go of it after finishing 2-15 last season. 

But Brooks was on the field making his NFL Debut in Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs, though Chuba Hubbard remained the lead back for the offense.

Brandi Glanville is not holding back.

The former model turned reality star took to social media over the weekend to discuss her health problems, explaining what she’s been dealing with after sharing a photo of her current appearance.

Last week, Glanville shared a video to Instagram of a Cameo that she had filmed for a fan. In the caption, she wrote, “It’s been over a year since I’ve been dealing with my health issues & haven’t been able to keep up with the videos, but I’m BACK on @cameo.”

BRANDI GLANVILLE, LINDA EVANGELISTA RETURN TO SPOTLIGHT AFTER BEING ‘DISFIGURED’

Based on her appearance in the video, some of her followers suggested that her health issues may be attributed to Botox or fillers – she’s been open about getting both over the years – but in a post on X, formerly Twitter, she shut down that theory.

“Guys this is an old cameo!” the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star wrote. “I used it to promote that I’m back on after a year plus hiatus. Let me share what I look like & why I had to take a pause… check next post & f—ing suck it haters.”

She then shared an unfiltered photo of her face.

Hundreds of people commented on the picture, with many sending their condolences about the issues she’s been facing. Many asked her what happened to cause the changes to her appearance.

NEW JERSEY ‘HOUSEWIFE’ CAROLINE MANZO SUES BRAVO AFTER CLAIMS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT

“What happened?” she wrote Sunday. “I wish I knew I’ve been in &out of the hospital this passed year 1/2 spent almost every dollar I have trying to figure it out. Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo.”

In January, Glanville was named in a lawsuit filed by fellow “Real Housewives” star Caroline Manzo, who has appeared on the New Jersey series of the show. Manzo accused Glanville of sexual assault, though she didn’t name her as a defendant – instead, Manzo sued Bravo, alleging the network hired Glanville despite knowledge of questionable behavior on her part.

Glanville and Manzo filmed a season of “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip” in Morocco together, along with other women from the show, nearly two years ago, which was where the alleged assault took place. The season has never aired, but as Glanville shared Sunday, her behavior on that trip was no worse than anything else she did on the show.

“This is 100 times worse than anything that happened in Morocco,” she wrote with a clip of footage of her giving another cast member a lap dance, “and my life has been ruined for no reason I’ve spent all of my money on Dr.!My health is ruined. My looks are ruined AND I was rehired because of this behavior for The Morocco girls trip.”

In addition to being named in Manzo’s suit against Bravo, Glanville has been discussing taking legal action of her own against the network. She accused “Real Housewives” host and executive producer Andy Cohen of sexual harassment and claimed she was going to sue Bravo, writing on X in July, “This stress has ruined my health.I have uncontrollable stress induced angio-edema I havent worked for a year &half.” Then, in October, she claimed her lawyers “dumped me.”

A Bravo spokesperson told Entertainment Weekly earlier this year that the network did an “outside investigation” into the allegations and found Glanville’s claims to be “unsubstantiated.” For his part, Cohen has said the comments made to Glanville were made “in jest,” but that “it was totally inappropriate and I apologize.”

About her health, Glanville told Entertainment Tonight earlier this year that her problems began last August.

“I’ve had some health issues that have affected my ability to talk,” she explained then. “My ability to taste food, my face basically would swell up, like I would have anaphylactic shock, go into anaphylactic shock constantly and I saw 7 doctors and their answer to it was stress-induced angioedema.”

Glanville did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment, though she has repeatedly denied Manzo’s allegations against her.

President Biden’s administration has filled up the Federal Register with more pages of regulations than any other president in history, breaking President Barack Obama’s record. 

As of last week, on Dec. 3, the Biden administration set a new federal record for the most Federal Register pages filled in a single year – 96,088. The number puts the administration on pace to fill more than 100,000 pages by the end of its term.

The record was previously held by Obama, who, in the final year of his second term, filled 95,894 pages.

The Federal Register, which is published by the National Archives and Records Administration and overseen by the Office of the Federal Register, is a daily publication of new and amended federal regulations.

“Federal Register page counts are a highly imperfect gauge of regulatory burden. Biden’s milestone, though, still underscores the expanding scope of federal intervention,” said Clyde Wayne Crews Jr., fellow at the Washington-based nonprofit the Competitive Enterprise Institute. “The record-setting 2024 Federal Register provides a stark reminder of the scale of the regulatory state, and it ain’t even done yet.”

During the final year of President-elect Trump’s first term in office, the Federal Register saw its fourth-largest number of pages filled. However, Crews said that number was likely inflated by efforts to eliminate rules that require agencies to issue new ones, as well as emergency COVID-19 pandemic measures. Meanwhile, during Trump’s first year in office, 2017, there were fewer pages added to the Federal Register than anyone since Bill Clinton in 1993, Crews pointed out.

Shortly after entering the Oval Office in 2017, Trump issued Executive Order 13771, which initiated a new federal rulemaking process requiring that for every single regulation added by the Trump administration, two must be taken away. The result of this was net cost savings throughout Trump’s first term, Crews said.

Machalagh Carr, director of the Center for Legal Action at the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, told Fox News Digital that with the incoming Trump administration “a new day is dawning and help is on the way.”

“For the last four years, [the Biden administration] has done their very best to strangle American free enterprise with a blizzard of unworkable regulations and mandates,” Carr said. “The political appointees calling the shots in the Biden administration have a hostile view of the innovators and companies that power our economy and believe that government knows best.”

Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for both Biden and Trump, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
