<p>A man has been arrested after firing multiple shots at a window of an ABC News affiliate in Sacramento, California, following the network&#8217;s decision to pull late night host Jimmy Kimmel after he lied about the assassination of 31-year-old Charlie Kirk.</p>
<p>The suspect has been identified as 64-year-old Anibal Hernandez-Santana. He&#8217;s been arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, and shooting into an occupied building.</p>
<p>An investigation into the shooting is still underway, however, a <a href="https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/abc-affiliate-sacramento-gunfire-kimmel-protest-1236524751/">report</a> from Variety says the suspect is a former legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, and his social media is rife with &#8220;anti-Trump commentary.&#8221;</p>
<p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m ">In one post, the suspect allegedly wrote in July, “The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete. CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’. Rules don’t apply if election was stolen. FIGHT!”</p>
<p>&#8220;The man suspected of firing 3 shots into the window of an ABC affiliate in California after the Kimmel decision is a former teacher&#8217;s union legislative director whose X feed is full of far-left rhetoric encouraging escalation,&#8221; conservative account &#8220;AG&#8221; posted to X.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, ABC pulled Kimmel’s late night show &#8220;indefinitely&#8221; after criticism erupted over comments the host made about Kirk&#8217;s assassination. Kimmel falsely claimed on air that the gunman who murdered Kirk was a member of the “MAGA gang” and mocked President Donald Trump for his response to Kirk’s death.</p>
<p>“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel <a href="https://x.com/newsbusters/status/1967982924986487284" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>

<p>Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, <a href="https://www.nexstar.tv/nexstar-abc-affiliates-to-preempt-jimmy-kimmel-live-indefinitely-beginning-tonight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement: “Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located.&#8221;</p>
<p>“Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue,” he added.</p>
