Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting Brian Thompson, executive director of United Nations Health Group, on a Manhattan street this month, was charged with murder on Tuesday, New York prosecutors said.

Mangione was charged with 11 counts, including first-degree murder and murder as a terrorist offense.

The indictment accused Mangione of killing Thompson with the intent to “influence the policy of a governmental unit by intimidation or coercion.”

“This type of intentional, targeted armed violence cannot and will not be tolerated,” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement announcing the indictment.
