Mangione’s cousin Nino was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2018. His grandfather, Nicolas B. Mangione, was a real estate developer who also owned country clubs in Maryland, nursing homes and the radio station WCBM-AM, according to his 2008 obituary inThe Baltimore Sun.
Before the family released their statement, the Altoona Police Department released the first photo of Mangione, 26, in custody in a holding cell. Mangione was later moved to the State Correctional Institution in Huntingdon, Pa. The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections later released hisbooking photo.

Mangione was identified as the primary suspect early Monday. He was apprehended at an Altoona McDonald’s, where a customer recognized him and an employee reported his suspicious behavior. Police said they found him with a gun and silencer similar to the one used in the shooting, a three-page manifesto and a fake New Jersey ID he allegedly used to stay at an Upper West Side hostel.
The suspect was arraigned in Hollidaysburg, Pa., and is being held without bail. He faces five charges in Pennsylvania, including two felony charges for forgery and carrying a firearm without a license. He did not enter a plea and his next court hearing was scheduled for Dec. 23.
