Cops in Sacramento on Saturday announced they had arrested a 64 year-old local man named Anibal Hernandez-Santana after he allegedly fired at least three rounds into the lobby of the building housing the California capital’s ABC affiliate KXTV on Friday, NBC affiliate KCRA reports.
Hernandez-Santana’s political motive – or whether he actually had one – was unclear. The station, owned by affiliate chain Tegna, was the target of protests this week after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was canceled and thus, maybe not coincidentally, one of the affiliates that will be acquired by right-wing conglomerate Nexstar in a $6.4 billion deal that requires approval from the MAGA reich’s FCC.
