"Police have arrested a man suspected of shooting into the lobby of Sacramento's ABC affiliate on Friday. Though the shooting occurred just a day after protesters gathered outside to the station to condemn ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night talkshow, Sacramento police said the motive in the case remained under investigation, with it not being immediately clear whether the gunfire was targeted or random."
"Shots were fired at ABC10, whose call letters are KXTV, just after 1.30pm Friday, police said. Officers spotted at least three gunshots into the window but said it was unclear whether they had been directed at the station building. The building was occupied at the time, but fortunately, no one was injured, said the Sacramento police's public information officer, Anthony Gamble, during a news conference."
"Authorities confirmed that the gunshots appeared to have been fired from a vehicle. They asked witnesses with any information regarding the investigation to contact the Sacramento police's dispatch center. Police said they arrested Hernandez with the help of the FBI after linking him to a car suspected of having been used to shoot at the station. He was arrested in Sacramento's River Park neighborhood, which is in the north-eastern part of the city."
