From the New York Post,
Sacramento man arrested after opening fire on ABC10 news station lobby in broad daylight.
The Post with details,
Anibal Hernandez-Santana, 64, was arrested Friday evening at an apartment on Carlson Drive in Sacramento’s River Park neighborhood after investigators linked him to a suspect vehicle, according to reports.
A SWAT team stormed the complex around 6:15 p.m., with witnesses saying he was tackled before being hauled away, KCRA 3 reported.
As for motive?
Sacramento police, who declined to discuss a possible motive for the shooting, thanked the FBI for assisting in the case and urged anyone with information about the shooting to contact investigators.
There are plenty of people on social media who claim to have already figured that out. And, perhaps, they will turn out to be correct.
But not every theory floated early on turns out to be valid. Of all outlets in the world, this week The Atlantic tried to answer a question from last week,
Why People Fell for an Outlandish Charlie Kirk Theory.
They write,
Yesterday, a Utah court filing refuted a theory popular on the left: that the suspect in the murder of the conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a right-winger.
To this minute, prominent Democrats, including ABC star Jimmy Kimmel, insist on pushing this theory. I can’t call it “discredited” because it was never credited. The Atlantic writes,
The evidence that [Tyler] Robinson was a “Groyper”—a member of an online further-right-than-thou movement that had harassed Kirk and President Donald Trump—was paltry. Why did anyone believe that idea to begin with?
Because they wanted to?
But there is another reason this theory, which would have absolved the left completely, was so enticing. Lethal left-wing political violence, in America, has been a relative rarity, and the last time it was commonplace was when most Americans living today were not yet born. Seeing a real left-wing American killer, motivated by ideology, is like seeing a passenger pigeon or a saber-toothed tiger.
It’s as if Luigi Mangione never existed.
Steve Scalise. George Floyd riots, Justice Kavanaugh, Donald Trump. Donald Trump. I could go on. The Atlantic is pushing the word “rarity” to its breaking point, using “relative” as a brace.
So, don’t believe your lying eyes.
