Authorities in Minnesota have arrested a person from outside the campus of UnitedHealthcare, four months after the insurance company’s CEO was fatally shot in New York City. 

The individual, who has not been named, was arrested outside UnitedHealthcare’s headquarters in Minnetonka, Minn., the Minnetonka Police Department said in a statement on X.  

The arrest took place about an hour after the department announced there was a “large police presence” at the UnitedHealthcare campus and police were “monitoring the situation.”

The arrest was made following reports of an intruder, the Associated Press reported, citing authorities. 

More than a dozen law enforcement vehicles from several agencies were at the scene, including an ambulance on standby, the outlet reported. 

No injuries have been reported. Minnetonka police did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for further information.

The arrest comes a little more than four months after the company’s CEO, Brian Thompson, was fatally shot outside a Manhattan hotel on his way to an investors’ conference. 

The suspected shooter in that case, Luigi Mangione, is being held in New York on federal charges of murder and stalking and state charges of murder and terrorism.
