SACRAMENTO, Calif. () A man suspected of firing a gun into the ABC affiliate’s office in Sacramento had written notes in his car that were critical of Donald Trump’s administration and a calendar reminder on his fridge to “do the next scary thing,” prosecutors said Monday.

Investigators say they also found in his car a handwritten note that read, “For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags. Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondi. They’re next. – C.K. from above.”

Nobody was hurt when shots were fired Friday into the lobby of the studios of ABC10 near downtown Sacramento. Local authorities arrested Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, on Friday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and shooting into an occupied building. He was released hours later on $200,000 bail.

Hernandez Santana was rearrested Saturday night by the FBI and will also face federal charges related to interfering with federally licensed stations. His defense attorney, Mark Reichel, said Hernandez Santana would plead not guilty in both cases when he’s arraigned on the federal charges Monday afternoon and in state court Tuesday.

ABC, which is owned by Disney, has found itself at the center of recent controversy after a monologue from late-night host Jimmy Kimmel addressed the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk in what some deemed to be an inappropriate light.
