Sacramento police confirmed gunfire struck a local ABC station amid nationwide outrage at the network's decision to suspend "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

The nation’s largest group of ABC affiliates, said Kimmel’s on-air remarks about Kirk’s assassination were “inappropriate and deeply insensitive.”

The network’s decision comes after affiliate group Nexstar said it would pull the late night show, and the chairman of the FCC suggested he might take action against ABC.

The network announced the decision after an ABC affiliate network announced preemptions after Jimmy Kimmel's comments on the murdered activist.

ABC has indefinitely pulled "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" from its network following comments made by the host. The decision is part of a much larger picture of the business of local and national TV.

N EW YORK (AP) — Two ABC affiliate owners spoke out against late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel ahead of ABC's decision to suspend the presenter over comments he made about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Their comments highlight the influence local TV station owners have on national broadcasters such as Disney-owned ABC.

Behind ABC’s decision was a display of how influential members of the Trump administration have become in shaping how media companies operate.

Three shots were fired into a window at the ABC affiliate in Sacramento on Friday, a day after a protest was held outside the station over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension. The police are investigating, but have no suspect information and no sense of whether the shooting was random or targeted,
