Prosecutors say recovered notes naming Trump officials point to a political motive under investigation.

Overview

  • Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, is in federal custody after the FBI re-arrested him hours after his release on state bail.
  • An amended three-count complaint charges possession and discharge of a firearm in a school zone and interference with a licensed communications station, alongside state felonies.
  • Investigators say a planner entry reading "Do the Next Scary Thing" and a car note referencing Jeffrey Epstein and naming Kash Patel, Dan Bongino and Pam Bondi as "next" were recovered.
  • Evidence outlined in filings includes surveillance and DMV records tying his vehicle to the scene, a recovered 9mm handgun, gunshot residue on his hands, and spent casings and a projectile.
  • Police say he fired one shot nearby and three into KXTV/ABC10’s occupied lobby on Sept. 19 with no injuries, and authorities have not established a link to protests at the station the day before.
