UK man arrested at rally planned to kill Trump, agents say

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A British man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas tried to grab a police officer's gun so he could kill the presidential candidate after planning an assassination for about a year, authorities said.
Michael Steven Sandford, 20, approached an officer at the campaign stop last weekend to say he wanted Trump's autograph but then tried to take the weapon, U.S. Secret Service agents said.
A criminal complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Sandford with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He has been denied bail and has not entered a plea yet.
His court-appointed attorney said he was living out of his car and was in the country illegally after overstaying a visa.
Donald Trump's son praised local authorities and the Secret Service for stopping the attempted attack, though he didn't say if there would be any security changes on the campaign trail.
"I think you can only plan for so much," Donald Trump Jr. said Tuesday on "Good Morning America." ''You can't plan for every scenario, and I think (law enforcement) do try to do whatever they can to prevent those things, and I think they will, but I think this is an unusual circumstance."
