LAS VEGAS (AP) — A federal officer says a man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer’s gun so he could kill the candidate.
A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds.
It cites a report by Special Agent Swierkowski, whose first name was not included, saying Sandford told officers he drove from California to kill Trump and went to a Las Vegas gun range the day before to learn to shoot.
Sandford later went to a Trump rally at the Treasure Island Casino and approached a Las Vegas police officer to say he wanted an autograph from Trump.
The report says Sandford was arrested after grabbing the handle of an officer’s gun in an attempt to remove it.
It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney. Las Vegas police say Sandford is 19.

Was his name Lewandowski?
Is it my imagination or is Trump trying to strike a pose somewhere between Mussolini and Napoleon?
Perhaps a time-travelling visitor from the future who had also previously failed at killing baby Hitler.
But those plots always work out so well, don’t they?
Mini rant: If I see another cliched quasi science fiction load of shit that has Nazis or Communists or Dinosaurs or whatever changing our past, present, or future and it all revolves around time travel or what-ifs I’ll vomit.
NO, please don’t kill Trump! Killing is wrong–and I want him to live with the November’s humiliation for as long as possible.
