The ABC affiliate shooter left a handwritten note in his car referencing Charlie Kirk and threatening Trump Administration officials – and he was still released on bond over the weekend.
The handwritten note read: “For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags. Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondie. They’re next. – C.K. from above.”
Anibal Hernandez Santana was arrested and charged on Saturday for shooting into the studio of an ABC affiliate on Friday evening.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, gunshots were fired at an ABC affiliate station in Sacramento, California, on Friday afternoon after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended.
According to police, a vehicle pulled up to the station and a suspect fired three gunshots into the window.
There was one person in the lobby at the time of the shooting, but no one was struck.
Police arrested 64-year-old Hernandez Santana, a rabid Trump hater, and charged him with three felonies.
Federal authorities arrested Hernandez Santana on Sunday shortly after he was released on bond.
The FBI has taken into custody the suspect linked to the shooting into ABC10’s Sacramento station lobby under a federal hold for interference with licensed broadcasts.
