CCTV footage shows a suspect wearing a ski mask and dark clothes possibly with a hoodie, holding a light-colored object in his hand.
Chip Terhune, boss of State Accident Insurance Fund (SAIF) which is a not-for-profit insurance company providing workers compensation, said he was inside his home in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and initially thought someone was throwing rocks at his house.
The gunshots broke the glass on the front door of his home around Melrose Place and Melrose Street at about 4am on Friday.
Neither Terhune nor anyone else was injured.
In an email to his employees obtained by KATU, Terhune wrote that he is not sure he was targeted and is doing well and ready to return to work.
‘We have received an email threat purporting to be from the person(s) responsible,’ Terhune wrote to his staff of over 1,000.
‘Although it does not target any specific employee, the email references knowledge of employee and relatives’ names and addresses.’
The boss added that he is working with police and that any employees with concerns should voice them.
‘Law enforcement is working diligently to investigate this matter and asked that we not share any additional specific information about the actual email,’ Terhune wrote.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Lake Oswego police.
It happened the same day that accused UnitedHealthcare CEO shooter Luigi Mangione, 26, made his first court appearance since being arraigned in the high-profile case.
Mangione, who allegedly shot dead health insurance boss Brian Thompson outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel in December, has gained a large fanbase who praise him for attacking what they call greed among insurance companies.
Since Thompson’s killing, several possible Mangione copycats have committed similar crimes. Weeks later, an employee allegedly stabbed the president of the manufacturing company Anderson Express Inc in Muskegon, Michigan.
