The company thanked police for their quick response to the shooting.
KXTV’s management said programming continued without disruption.
Employees described the incident as frightening but were relieved no one was hurt.
Kimmel Controversy
The shooting followed ABC’s suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this week.
Kimmel sparked backlash with remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
He claimed conservatives were twisting the killer’s ideology for politics.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr called his comments “sick” and pressured ABC.
Disney announced Kimmel’s show would be “pre-empted indefinitely.”
President Trump praised the suspension as “great news for America.”
Political Fallout
Democrats accused ABC of caving to political pressure.
Kimmel’s supporters say the network betrayed a loyal star.
Sources told the Daily Mail Kimmel feels “angry but unbowed.”
Friends said he believes Disney feared further inflaming conservatives.
Kimmel has not publicly apologized and stands by his remarks.
Police have not linked the Sacramento shooting to the Kimmel controversy.
