A 19-year-old British man drove from California to Las Vegas to attempt to kill Donald Trump at a rally at the Treasure Island Casino on June 18, the Secret Service says.
Michael Steven Sandford tried to take a gun from a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer to assassinate the Republican candidate, but failed in his attempt, according to court documents filed in the U.S. District of Nevada court.
Sandford told a Secret Service agent he tried to grab the officer’s gun to “shoot and kill Trump.” He told the agent he thought he could fire one or two rounds before he would be killed by law enforcement, according to court documents.
He is accused of committing an act of violence on restricted grounds, according to the criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Here’s what we know about Sandford so far. This is a breaking story and we will add more information as it comes in.

Beware my friends. We haven’t seen this kind of ugly in nearly 40 years. I’m staying on the compound
I always pray for The Donald’s safety.
Keep it up Lord…
Mr. Trump needs the best security money can buy. Among some dangerous people he is target #1.
And the check payable to the order of Michael Sanford will not be signed by George soros. But he’s behind it and you know that’s how this works.
Guy is British.
Meanwhile Anjem Choudary spews his muslim hate and invective on a daily basis and heads are lopped off in the streets of London.
10 years in jail? How about 30!
There’s more where he came from.
Take a generation marinated in “If you could kill Hitler…”
and add,
“Trump is Hitler”
and what do you expect?
watch how long this pussy is locked up
where’s your mommy and daddy, sandford
Why wasn’t this limey bastard charged with attempted murder?
Is he a muslim convert?
I don’t remember this vitriol and hatred for Romney and McCain. But then, everybody left and right knew those two were foregone losers and Obama props who posed little threat to win. Trump is right where he wants to be, over target and getting flak.
Did Mitt hire him?
Remember all those close-calls where they stopped the Tea Party from assassinating O’preezy?
Nope, neither do I.
Trumps the man. If he cant do it, no one can. Seriously
So all these macho Mexicans and muslims talk a big game about disemboweling and beheading Trump, but it’s a gawky, white brit nutjob who actually goes after Trump, instead of ganging up on Trump supporters and gunning down gay club patrons.
Not to make this nutjob out to be noble or anything, but you la Razans and mohammedans are kind of pussy cowards by comparison.
Maybe it’s time for trump to stay out of the public.
Or
Start using bullet proof glass at all venues.
0bama would invite this guy to the white house if he could get away with it. 10 years is not enough; one week and then the gallows. Make an example of the bastard.
He also is an illegal. He overstayed his visa.
Planning this for more than a year? Dude’s a freaking mastermind, eh?
Maybe wanted to for over a year. Looks more like he winged it.
Unruly, I wouldn’t even give him a week. He should be taken out to the gallows immediately after being sentenced and hung and his body thrown in an unmarked grave.
Geoff, in the old Westerns they always showed the prisoner looking out his cell window to be terrorized by the sight of the gallows being built. Lying on the bunk and hearing the carpenters work on his death machine was part of the punishment.
Build it right outside his jail cell, and make sure he’s watching while all the workmen piss on the rope that will soon break his neck.
