The ABC 10 offices in Sacramento were hit with gunfire, where a protest had been held against the network's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Sacramento Bee reported Friday.
The protest in California's capital saw over a dozen people protesting outside the ABC offices on Thursday. Officials stated that the shooting occurred on Friday around 1:30 p.m., the report said. No one was wounded in the incident.
Three gunshots penetrated the building, the Bee reported. No additional information on any suspects has been released.
"Any act of violence toward journalists is an attack on our democracy itself and must be condemned in the strongest terms," California Governor Gavin Newsom's Office said in response to the incident. "We stand with reporters and staff who work every day to keep communities informed and safe!"
How the late-night show was taken off-air
Jimmy Kimmel Live was taken off the air by ABC following Kimmel's remarks on last week's assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah.
President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly pressured broadcasters to stop airing content he has found objectionable, celebrated the news in a social media post.
Trump has also called on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to pull licenses from stations that air content he finds objectionable.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr, who was appointed to his role by Trump, wrote that he was “glad to see that many broadcasters are responding to their viewers as intended.”
This prompted US Senator Ted Cruz to denounce Carr's threat to fine broadcasters or revoke their licenses over the content of their shows as “dangerous,” believing that it would ultimately come back to haunt conservative media figures in the future.
