Overview

  • Sacramento County DA Thien Ho announced state charges including discharging a firearm into an inhabited building and assault with a semi-automatic firearm, with a personal-use allegation.
  • Hernandez-Santana, 64, was first arrested Friday after police linked a suspect vehicle, posted $200,000 bail Saturday, and was then re-arrested by the FBI on a 47 U.S.C. 333 communication-interference charge.
  • If convicted on the state counts, he could face up to 17 years in prison, while the federal statute carries up to one year in prison and a $10,000 fine.
  • At least three rounds struck the station’s lobby window while the building was occupied, and no injuries were reported.
  • He is scheduled in federal court Monday and in Sacramento County Superior Court Tuesday, as investigators have not disclosed a motive and the defense questions the federal action.
