Overview
- An amended three-count federal complaint charges possession and discharge of a firearm in a school zone and interference with a licensed communications station, with an initial court appearance Monday resulting in temporary detention and a detention hearing set for Thursday.
- On Sept. 19, investigators say one shot was fired near a school zone and three into KXTV/ABC10’s lobby while the building was occupied, and no injuries were reported.
- Surveillance links, a recovered 9 mm handgun, and gunshot residue are cited in filings, along with a refrigerator note reading “Do the Next Scary Thing.”
- A car note referencing Epstein and naming Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Pam Bondi as “They’re next” is described by prosecutors as indicating possible plans for additional violence, and the district attorney points to circumstantial evidence of a political motive connected to recent protests.
- Hernandez Santana was first arrested on state counts, released on $200,000 bail, then taken into federal custody; he faces separate state gun and assault charges, and the federal counts carry maximum penalties of up to five years on the school‑zone offenses and up to one year for interference.
