Authorities allege a man in California opened fire on an ABC affiliate’s TV station in California and had a note inside his car detailing that FBI Director Kash Patel and other officials in the Trump administration are “next.”

Anibal Hernandez Santana, 63, is accused of opening fire on ABC 10’s building in Sacramento, California on Friday, Sept. 19. No one was hurt in the shooting, but federal officials said employees inside the building had to shelter in place and pause operations.

Here is what we know about Santana, the man accused of shooting into the building with a handgun.

What was found inside Santana’s car

After Santana was released from jail on Saturday, law enforcement officials searched through his white Nissan Kicks. Detectives found a handwritten note inside Santana’s car, which referenced Jeffrey Epstein and stated certain officials within the Trump administration are “next.”

“For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags. Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondi. They’re next. – C.K. from above,” the handwritten note stated, according to the complaint.

His social media

Mark Reichel, Santana’s attorney, said he believes his client’s left-wing social media played a role in the filing of federal charges.

“Oh, absolutely, they’re looking to see if this is political violence. I can guarantee you that, there’s just no dispute,” Reichel told KCRA. “If you look at his social media, they’re going to say, ‘Boy, it sure shows that he’s liberal and left wing.’ So you think they’re going to overlook something like that? I don’t think so.”

Reichel said Santana was “very” critical of the Trump administration.

“It’s undisputed. They’re going to look at his social media and say, ‘Look, he was very critical of the administration, very critical of Trump.’ And then this happens,” Reichel said.

What his attorney has said

Reichel told Fox News Digital the circumstances surrounding the case are “highly unusual.”

“It is remarkably uncommon for any individual to face simultaneous state and federal charges for the same alleged conduct,” Reichel said.

“Given the highly unusual circumstances here, we understand the news media and the public have many questions, as do we. At this time, we have not had an opportunity to review the evidence in the case, so our ability to provide those answers is non-existent. Mr. Hernandez Santana is entitled to due process — he is innocent unless and until he is found otherwise.”

Reichel provided the following statement to Fox News Digital after Thursday’s court hearing:

“Right now, my client is innocent unless and until 12 people inside each courthouse, in each
case, find that he is no longer innocent. America is a nation that is held together by the rule of
law, and there are two sides to every story,” he said.
