Gunfire Strikes ABC Sacramento Affiliate Station One Day After Protesters Denounce ABC ‘Indefinitely’ Pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live!

A Sacramento news station was hit by gunfire on Friday, Sept. 19, the Sacramento Police Department confirmed to PEOPLE.

Around 1:30 p.m., a vehicle drove by and fired several shots at the lobby window of the Tenga-owned ABC affiliate station, according to the SPD. It is unclear how many shots were fired, but at least three hit the building.

“The building was occupied and fortunately, nobody was injured,” a SPD public information officer told PEOPLE.

It is still unknown if the shooting was random or targeted. The SPD has not released a description of the vehicle or suspect.

The shooting happened a day after protesters gathered outside ABC 10 to oppose ABC’s decision to “indefinitely” pull Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the schedule. Authorities have not confirmed if the protest and gunfire are connected. About 15 people joined the protest, according to the Sacramento Bee.

ABC announced that Jimmy Kimmel Live! would be “indefinitely” shelved on Wednesday, Sept. 17. The move followed pressure from broadcast companies Nexstar and Sinclair, both of which criticized Kimmel for his comments about Charlie Kirk and pulled his show from ABC affiliates nationwide.

Kirk was shot and killed at the age of 31 on Wednesday, Sept. 10, while speaking at a university event in Utah. Kimmel’s comments that sparked controversy involved Kirk and Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old charged with aggravated murder in connection with Kirk’s death.

On Wednesday, Sept. 17, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr praised Nexstar, the largest local broadcast and digital media company in the U.S., and Sinclair, the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group, for pulling Kimmel’s show.

Nexstar recently announced plans to acquire Tenga, a rival broadcast company, for more than $6 billion. This deal would give Nexstar access to 80% of American households with TVs — even though current law allows no more than 39% — according to a press release. The acquisition still needs approval from the Trump-controlled FCC, which Carr leads.

On Thursday, Sept. 18, Sinclair issued a list of demands for Kimmel before airing Jimmy Kimmel Live! again, including a “direct apology to the Kirk family” and a “meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA nonprofit.”

Police are asking anyone with information about the Sacramento shooting to call the Police Department at 916-808-5471.
