Sacramento ABC10 Building Hit by Gunfire in Apparent Drive-By
Sacramento’s ABC10 television station building was struck by gunfire in an apparent drive-by shooting yesterday afternoon, prompting an immediate investigation by local police. Authorities confirmed that at least three rounds hit the building’s window facing Broadway.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported among staff at the ABC affiliate, owned by Tegna. Officers responded to the 400 block of Broadway just after 1:30 p.m. Friday following reports of shots fired. The incident is being treated as a drive-by, with a vehicle reportedly firing upon the building before fleeing the scene.
Sacramento Police Department Public Information Officer Anthony Gamble condemned the act, stating, “This is unacceptable behavior. We’re not going to stop looking for you.” He emphasized the rarity of such attacks on media partners in the city. Tegna spokesperson Molly McMahon affirmed that all employees were safe and unharmed, and the station is fully cooperating with law enforcement while implementing additional safety measures.
California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office also issued a strong statement, calling any act of violence against journalists “an attack on our democracy itself” and vowing support for media professionals who keep communities informed.
As of now, no suspect information has been released, and the motive behind the shooting remains unknown, with the investigation actively underway.
