A 19-year-old man has been charged for trying to grab a police officer’s gun at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas and use it to kill the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
According to a complaint filed in the US District Court in Nevada on Monday, Michael Sandford tried to disarm the officer at the June 18 rally at the Mystere Theatre in the Treasure Island Casino before being overpowered.
It said the young man, who holds a British driving licence, told a Secret Service agent after his arrest that he had driven from California to Las Vegas “to kill Trump”, and had been to a range a day earlier to learn to shoot as he had never fired a gun before.
