The man accused of opening fire on the lobby of a Sacramento ABC television station cited the government's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case as a motive and promised several members of the Trump administration would be "next," according to a federal court filing made public Monday.

Google Maps ANIBAL HERNANDEZ-SANTANA is charged with attacking television station ABC10 in Sacramento.

Anibal Hernandez-Santana, 64, is charged with multiple weapons offenses and interfering with a radio or communication station for firing several bullets at the window of ABC10’s offices around 1 p.m. Friday, according to a criminal complaint.

Hernandez-Santana was arrested the same day. During a search of his car, detectives found a note that read “For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags,” according to the complaint filed by prosecutors in the Eastern District of California.

The note referenced FBI Director Kash Patel, his second in command Dan Bongino and U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi, reading, “They're next. — C.K. from above.”

Sacramento Dist. Atty. Thien Ho said he believed the “C.K.” portion of the note was a reference to Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist who was killed by a sniper in Utah this month. In an interview on Monday, Ho said police also found a book titled “The Cult Of Trump” in Hernandez-Santana’s vehicle.

A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney's office in Sacramento said she could not comment beyond what was contained in court documents.
