Police say a vehicle link led to the arrest, with the motive still under investigation.

Overview

  • At least three rounds struck a lobby window around 1:30 p.m. Friday while employees were inside, and no injuries were reported.
  • Police arrested Anibal Hernandezsantana, 64, on counts of assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied building and negligent discharge of a firearm.
  • Investigators say a vehicle match led them to a River Park residence where he was taken into custody with FBI assistance.
