Court Hears 911 Call: 'We Might Have the Shooter' in Luigi Mangione Case

Lieutenant Hanley's Testimony

• 👮 Lieutenant Tom Hanley testified on the sixth day of the evidentiary hearing for suspected CEO killer Luigi Manion.
• 💡 Hanley, the highest-ranking officer present during Manion's arrest, defended his search of Manion's backpack.
• 📞 Hanley admitted to jokingly offering to buy a fellow officer a 'hogy' if the McDonald's tip panned out, but stated he wanted to give the call due diligence.

The 911 Call and Communication Delays

• 🚨 On December 2024, the Altuna Police Department received a tip about a potential suspect matching photos disseminated by the NYPD.
• ⏳ It took nearly an hour and a half for the Altuna Police Department to reach someone within the NYPD.
• 📞 Hanley first called 911 at 9:37 a.m. stating, "We might have the shooter," referring to the UHC shooter matching the photo the NYPD put out.
• ❓ The 911 dispatcher sounded perplexed, and a second call from Hanley at 10:25 a.m. to a different dispatcher also resulted in confusion.

Arrest and Evidence Discovery

• ⏱️ During the nearly 30 minutes between Hanley's calls, Manion was read his rights, arrested, and a magazine with 9mm bullets and his passport were found in his backpack.
• 🕵️ Hanley testified they had reasonable suspicion that Manion had committed a violent crime in another jurisdiction.

Defense Cross-Examination

• 📧 Defense attorneys questioned Hanley about emails sent to the NYPD, including one mentioning a notebook with writings.
• ❓ Hanley stated the questions about the writings were for him to email to the NYPD.
• 🗣️ Hanley explained his call to NYC 911 was to get through layers of operators until he reached someone with decision-making authority at the NYPD.
• 📝 Defense attorneys also questioned why evidence cataloged and photographed from Manion's person, such as items related to a fake ID, had nothing to do with the murder investigation, arguing it should be tossed out.
