A quick look around the world.

Suspect update: We’re learning more about the 26-year-old suspected gunman responsible for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week in Manhattan. Authorities in New York City say Luigi Mangione was arrested at a McDonald’s location in Pennsylvania and was taken into custody after police found a gun, silencer, and counterfeit identification. Police say he “became quiet and started to shake” after being asked whether he’d recently traveled to New York. Authorities found a handwritten note insisting that “these parasites had it coming.”
The best medicine: Less than two years after a serious medical issue sidelined comedian and actor Jamie Foxx for several months, he’s getting back on stage to tell his story through laughter. In his new Netflix special, Foxx reportedly discusses the severe headache that led to him seeking medical treatment. After doctors initially missed a brain bleed, Foxx reportedly experienced a stroke, underwent emergency surgery, and still cannot remember a nearly three-week period of time. “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was …” premiered last night.
Parting ways: KJ Osborn scored a position on the New England Patriots roster for one year with a contract worth $4 million, but the arrangement didn’t work out as everyone had hoped. The long-time NFL wide receiver posted some unimpressive numbers this season, with only seven catches and one touchdown added to his stats. The decision to waive Osborn came as the result of a mutual decision, the team explained, and coaches said his leadership had been valuable to the team. The team is building a younger team of receivers for next season.
Spanish shopping: TikTok continues its path to global e-commerce domination by releasing its massively popular Shop feature in Spain. This move is part of a broader effort by the social media app to expand the retail side of its business across Europe. TikTok has already released Shop in the U.S. and a number of other nations, but European countries proved to be trickier markets to crack. The Chinese-owned company’s strategy continues even as a nationwide U.S. ban on the app is set to go into effect next month unless it is sold.
