Anibal Hernandez Santana was arrested by the FBI over the weekend after posting bail on local charges, a move that lawyers say came as a surprise.
Court documents describe another note that was found at his home, reading "do the next scary thing" under Friday's date, the day of the shooting at ABC10.
The comedian was suspended by the network after comments he made on his show about the killing of conservative political activist Charlie Kirk.
CBS News Sacramento reviewed social media posts from an account linked to Hernandez Santana and posted in the days leading up to the shooting.
Just three days before the shooting, the social media platform "X" flagged a post of his, alerting that "this Post may violate X's rules against Violent Speech."
Anibal Hernandez Santana post on X @AlHSantanaOne day before the ABC10 shooting, he appeared to reference President Trump again, and on the morning of the shooting, he shared a video that referred to Kirk as a Christian disciple of Jesus, to which he responded, "This is blasphemy." It was his only post on X the day of the ABC10 shooting incident.
Anibal Hernandez Santana post on X @AlHSantana Anibal Hernandez Santana re-post on X the morning of the alleged shooting @AlHSantana"The vast majority of Americans reject political violence altogether. It's an extreme position to endorse political violence," said Wintemute.
"Posting, exhibiting hyper-partisan behavior, strongly polarizing partisan behavior, is a risk factor for committing violence. On the other hand, the vast majority of people who exhibit hyper-partisan behavior, do not commit violence," said Wintemute.
On the Secretary of State's website, Hernandez Santana was listed as a registered lobbyist for the California Catholic Conference from 2001 through 2008.
Wintemute says, based on his ongoing research on political violence, he would ask whether something happened recently that may have led to a political radicalization in Hernandez Santana's real life.
Wintemute recently helped author a UC Davis study titled "Fear, Loathing, and Support for Political Violence in the United States" that was published last week.
Those phenomena would most commonly be referred to as "far right wing" or extremely radical conservative ideals.
"When I was a young man, the threat of political violence was mostly from the left. Lately, it's been from the right. This year, we might see that switching some with a change in power in federal government, we're actually looking at data this week on, has there been a switch with increased support for political violence on the left, decreased support on the right?" said Wintemute.
The true motivations for why Hernandez Santana, who has not entered a plea in court, allegedly fired a gun at ABC10 are not yet known. He is being held in federal custody and is due back in court Thursday.
