Man Charged After Threatening UnitedHealthcare Headquarters in Minnetonka

Ian Stanley Wagner, a 26-year-old man from Hopkins, was arrested outside UnitedHealth Group’s headquarters in Minnetonka after threatening to 'shoot up' the building if criminal charges against him were not dropped. Authorities say Wagner, a convicted violent felon with a history of mental health issues and restraining order violations, had a loaded .38-caliber revolver and 21 rounds of ammunition in his vehicle. The FBI and Minnetonka police responded swiftly, placing eight nearby commercial buildings on lockdown before Wagner surrendered without incident. Court documents reveal Wagner made a recorded 911 call stating his intent to fire into the building, referencing outstanding arrest warrants against him. He now faces multiple felony charges, including threats of violence and illegal firearm possession, and remains in jail on $500,000 bail while police seek an extreme risk protection order. UnitedHealth has significantly increased security at its offices following recent violent incidents, though officials noted Wagner had no specific grievances against the company itself.
