California Man Arrested After Shooting Into Occupied Sacramento ABC Station

Anibal Hernandezsantana, 64, was arrested in Sacramento for firing shots into the lobby of the ABC10 news station building, which was occupied at the time though no injuries were reported. The incident, described as a possible drive-by shooting, involved at least three bullets striking a window and occurred shortly after protesters gathered outside the station to condemn ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show amid controversy over his remarks on the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Police have charged Hernandezsantana with assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied building, and negligent discharge of a firearm, but the motive remains under investigation with no confirmed connection to the protests. Authorities located Hernandezsantana by identifying his vehicle and tracing it to a residence in Sacramento's River Park neighborhood, with assistance from the FBI. Law enforcement is urging witnesses to provide information, offering anonymity and potential rewards for tips. The shooting is being treated seriously as an attack on press freedom and democracy, with officials emphasizing support for journalists and staff at ABC10.
