The alleged gunman has been identified as 64-year-old Anibal Hernandez-Santana, who was formerly employed as legislative director of the California Federation of Teachers.

Take a look:

NEW: The man who shot up the ABC affiliate in Sacramento following the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, has been identified as Anibal Hernandez-Santana.

An X account that appears to belong to Hernandez-Santana is full of anti-Trump posts, as reported by Variety.

The man, 64, previously worked as a legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers, the outlet reported.

“The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete. CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’…” the account that appears to belong to him posted in July.

Hernandez-Santana was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, and shooting into an occupied building.

Insane.

Hernandez-Santana was taken into custody around midnight and is facing multiple charges.

Notably, a protest had been staged earlier in the day outside the ABC TV station that he shot up.

The Sacramento Bee has more details:

Investigators arrested a man suspected of shooting a window at the offices of broadcaster ABC 10 on Friday in Sacramento, a local TV station where a protest the previous day denounced a network decision to take “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air.

Anibal Hernandezsantana, 64, of Sacramento was arrested in connection with Friday’s shooting at the TV station in the 400 block of Broadway in Upper Land Park, Sacramento Police Department spokesperson Officer Anthony Gamble announced early Saturday.

Hernandezsantana was booked about midnight at the Sacramento County Main Jail. He faces three felony charges of firing a gun at an inhabited building, assault with a deadly weapon and firing a gun in a negligent manner, jail records show.

His bail amount was set at $200,000. Hernandezsantana was scheduled to appear for his arraignment hearing Tuesday afternoon in Sacramento Superior Court.

Gamble said the motive behind the shooting remained under investigation. He thanked the FBI for assisting in the shooting investigation.

Investigators were able to identify the suspect vehicle in the shooting, which led officers to a home in the 5400 block of Carlson Drive in Sacramento’s River Park neighborhood and Hernandezsantana’s arrest.

Police said no one was hurt in Friday’s shooting, and no protesters were outside the ABC 10 station when the gunfire struck the building. Officers found at least three gunshots into one of the building’s window. Gamble said there were people inside the building, but nobody was struck by gunfire.

As many suspected, it's all but confirmed that yesterday's shooting at the TV station was yet another act of radical leftist violence.

Hernandez-Santana's alleged X account is full of disgusting anti-Trump, anti-MAGA posts, like these:

Here's a closer look at some of Hernandez-Santana's X posts:

In one post, he sickeningly called for people to pray for President Trump to have a heart attack:

He also posted a very vile statement on Charlie Kirk:

While police have not confirmed a motive, we can make some guesses...

Imagine being so deranged you go and ruin your life by shooting up a local TV station because they canceled your favorite show.

Imagine Jimmy Kimmel being your favorite show in the first place.

Absolutely bonkers.
