\n\tThree shots were fired into a window at the ABC affiliate in Sacramento on Friday, a day after a protest was held outside the station over Jimmy Kimmel\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n
\n\tAnibal Hernandez-Santana, 64, was later arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, and shooting into an occupied building.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe motive remains under investigation, and we would like to thank the FBI for providing resources in support of this investigation,\u201d a Sacramento Police Department spokesperson said in a statement early Saturday.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe shots were fired around 1:30 p.m. at the station headquarters at 400 Broadway. The building was occupied at the time, but no one was hurt.<\/p>\n
\n\tPolice were able to identify a suspect vehicle, which led them to a residence in the 5400 block of Carlson Drive, in the River Park neighborhood east of downtown. Hernandez-Santana was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail.<\/p>\n
\n\tAccording to jail records, he is being held on $200,000 bail and is due to appear in court on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
\n\tHernandez-Santana is a former health policy analyst for the California Rural Indian Health Board. In 2019, he sued the non-profit group for discrimination and retaliation, alleging that he was terminated after being denied time off to care for his disabled son.<\/p>\n
\n\tAccording to the complaint, Hernandez-Santana\u2019s job involved tracking state legislation and assisting with Affordable Care Act implementation. When Hernandez-Santana was fired in 2018, he got into a verbal confrontation with his supervisors, who ultimately called the police, according to the complaint. The suit was withdrawn in 2020.<\/p>\n
