Yes - it’s true the healthcare CEO had more blood on his hands than the shooter, but that’s no reason to refer to the CEO as a criminal!
He was just a greedy, unethical monster who lived off the largess of others’ suffering.
To the extent that he wasn't a criminal it's only because our government is too corrupt to make his actions illegal.
Killing the CEO will change nothing, the solution is to add regulations to healthcare companies, including jail penalties if necessary.
Some companies have already backed away from some of their more predatory stuff... so it did have an effect.
