Anti-Trump lawyer opened fire on ABC news station

The man police say fired three shots into a California ABC News station made social media posts wishing death on President Donald Trump.

Authorities have identified Anibal Hernandez Santana, a 64-year-old from Sacramento, as the individual responsible for firing three shots into a window at KXTV, an ABC affiliate station, last Friday.

Nobody was injured in the shooting, with Santana arrested after police identified a vehicle connected to the shooting, The New York Times reported. 

Santana has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied building and negligent discharge of a firearm.

The police have not yet determined a motive for the shooting incident at the station. However, it happened just two days after ABC indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show due to remarks he made concerning Charlie Kirk.

Santana, who has been released from custody and is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday, reportedly served as a health policy analyst for the California Rural Indian Health Board, according to his LinkedIn profile. He is now seemingly retired.

A profile on X that bears his name is filled with posts that reveal negative feelings about Trump, with one being published a day before the attack.

One social media post expressed a wish for a “good heart attack” when needed most, seemingly referencing President Trump: “Please join in my thoughts and prayers for the physical demise of our fearful leader.”

The account extended its critical stance towards Trump with another post, appearing to tenuously link the president to Tyler Robinson, who is suspected in the killing of Charlie Kirk.

“I support the death penalty for Tyler Robinson,” the post stated. “Absolutely, once the federal criminal code includes the death penalty for a president who refuses to step down after certified election outcomes or incites an uprising. This has been a PSA for democracy. Thank you,” it continued.

A day after Kirk was assassinated, the account 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.

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.

On Thursday, the day before the shooting, about 15 people protested Kimmel’s demise outside the station, which is owned by Tegna.

Kimmel’s suspension has outraged liberals, who claim the Trump administration is not respecting freedom of speech. 

This is because FCC Chair Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee, suggested Kimmel should be suspended in a Wednesday podcast appearance. Hours later, ABC did just that.

Kimmel said in his Monday monologue that MAGA was ‘desperately’ trying to distance itself from the suspect in Kirk’s killing and implied that Robinson was on the political right.

Carr, and many other conservatives, pointed out that evidence released by authorities so far indicates that Robinson had drifted to the left in recent years.
