Judge Denies Bail for Suspect in ABC10 Sacramento Shooting Case

A judge ordered Anibal Hernandez Santana held pending trial after prosecutors argued he poses a public-safety risk.

Overview

  • Federal court on Thursday denied Hernandez Santana’s release, keeping him in custody on federal counts while related state charges remain pending.
  • Prosecutors say he visited a nearby elementary school on Sept. 16 asking to read to students, behavior staff described as unusual and which prosecutors called consistent with pre-attack surveillance.
  • New filings highlight a planner entry reading “Do the Next Scary Thing” and handwritten notes referencing political views as factors in the detention request.
  • The suspect told CBS Sacramento from jail that he is “not a violent man,” while his attorney sought release with electronic monitoring and home detention.
  • Investigators continue to examine motive, including any potential link to ABC/Disney’s recent action involving Jimmy Kimmel, and authorities report no injuries from the ABC10 gunfire.
