REPORT: Gunfire Strikes California ABC Local News Station Building

Sacramento officials are investigating after ABC10’s television station was struck by gunfire Friday, according to multiple reports.

CBS News reported that police responded just after 1:30 p.m. to the 400 block of Broadway following reports of shots fired. Officers later said the building had been hit, according to the outlet.

“While details are still limited, importantly all of our employees are safe and unharmed,” said Molly McMahon, a spokesperson for Tegna, to CBS News. Tegna owns the ABC affiliate station. “We are fully cooperating with law enforcement and have taken additional measures to ensure the continued safety of our employees.”

Early reports indicate the suspect fled the scene in a vehicle after firing into the building, with officials classifying the incident as a drive-by shooting. No injuries or suspect information have been reported as of Friday evening.

The shooting comes amid protests against Disney and ABC following the network’s decision Wednesday to indefinitely suspend late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. The move came after Kimmel’s Monday night monologue, where he said the “MAGA gang” had hit “new lows,” claiming Republicans were trying to portray Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin as “anything other than one of them.”
