Agents from the New York City Police Department are en route to Pennsylvania to assist local authorities in the investigation. NBC News was the first to report on this development. Thompson, who was 50 years old, died early Wednesday morning after being shot in the back and leg outside the hilton worldwide in downtown New York City, with police stating it was a targeted murder.
