Overview
- Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, entered a not guilty plea to four federal charges, including discharging a firearm in a school zone, interfering with a radio communication station, and two counts of possessing a firearm in a school zone.
- Prosecutors say he fired three rounds into ABC10’s lobby and another shot from a nearby parking lot on Sept. 19, and no injuries were reported.
- An FBI affidavit says investigators found a handwritten note referencing public figures and signed "C. K. from above."
- He posted bail on state charges the next day but was re-arrested by federal authorities, and court officials said no bail hearing occurred at Monday’s appearance.
- The district attorney has suggested a political motive targeting the press, and if convicted he faces up to five years on the school-zone count, up to one year for interference, and up to 17 years on separate state felonies.
