A Bounty hunter has told CNN he believed the individual who shot dead UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on Wednesday was not a professional killer but rather, “has some psychological issues.”

Zeke Unger, a liaison to the US Marshals told CNN the shooter’s mannerisms did not reflect those of a professional killer.

“This is not a professional killer, a contract killer by his mannerisms and by the failure of the weapon. I think when you start looking at all the video footage and you see the malfunction of the weapon with the noise-suppression unit causing a major malfunction, this is not the sign of a hired killer,” he said.

“I believe that the individual, by looking at the footage, had some psychological issues. That this is a revenge shooting,” he said.
