The individual accused of firing three bullets into an ABC TV station in Sacramento has spoken out from jail, asserting that he is ‘not a violent man’.

Anibal Hernandez Santana faces state and federal charges for the shooting at the KXTV station on September 19.

Since there were no injuries, the gravest charges he faces include assault with a firearm, shooting at an inhabited abode, and possessing and discharging a firearm within a school zone.

In an interview with CBS Sacramento, Santana said: ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen with my life, going forward, but I am not a violent man.’

Santana refrained from commenting on handwritten notes found in his car by FBI agents, which seemed to express his disdain for officials in the Trump administration.

According to a criminal complaint in the Eastern District of California, the note read, ‘For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags. Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondie. They’re next. – C.K. from above.’

Santana, without his lawyer present, refused to tell CBS whether he is guilty or not and also did not talk about motive.

The incident occurred shortly after ABC stations across the nation removed Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show following remarks the comedian made about Charlie Kirk. However, Kimmel’s program has since been reinstated after significant backlash.

Santana added: ‘Well, you know, like anybody would imagine, this is a process like nothing that anyone ever experiences or imagines that they will be going through.

‘I am steadfast, I still feel strong thanks to the support of my family and relatives and a good network of friends.’

Santana also dodged when asked what his response was to workers at the ABC station who may be fearful after the shooting.

‘Well, it’s again, to the extent that that comes up in open court, I am very eager, very looking forward to explain precisely how I may or may not feel about that,’ he said.

‘Again, these are alleged accusations. But just today I was thinking about that, about how people may have felt in the community of Sacramento.’

Although Santana did not incriminate himself in his CBS interview, the Daily Mail revealed that he had made several anti-Trump social media posts shortly before the shooting, even wishing death on the president.

‘Where is a good heart attack when we need it the most?? Please Join in my thoughts and prayers for the physical demise of our fearful leader,’ he wrote a day before the shooting, seemingly talking about Trump.

Santana further wished death on Trump in another post, seemingly making a tenuous connection between the president and Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Kirk’s killing.

‘I support the death penalty for Tyler Robinson. Absolutely, as soon as the fed criminal code is amended to add the death penalty for a president who refuses to step down after certified election results and/or incites an insurrection. This has been a PSA for democracy. Thank you,’ he wrote.

A day after Kirk was assassinated, he posted a less-than-genuine tribute to the 31-year-old father-of-two.

‘Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlie Kirk and his family. May the prudence of his cost-benefit analysis for 2A rights vs. school shootings live on forever,’ the account wrote.

In his interview with CBS, Santana revealed that he was a captain in the army and that he was honorably discharged.

‘I’m devoted to this country. I love this country,’ he said. ‘I want to say, in case that it hasn’t been talked about in the press, that I am of Puerto Rican descent.’

Santana studied regional and city planning at UC Berkeley and law at UC Law San Francisco, according to a Facebook profile matching the other social media accounts.  

Santana is also a lawyer who used to be a health policy analyst for the California Rural Indian Health Board.

Santana was arrested in connection to the shooting on September 19, the day it happened. He was then released on bail before being rearrested by the FBI the following day at his home.

If he is convicted on the state and federal charges, Santana will face decades in prison.
