A 20-year-old British man who wanted to kill Donald Trump, presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has been arrested and the suspect has apparently told investigators that he wanted to kill Donald Trump. The suspect had arrived in Las Vegas and he tried to wrestle a gun from a police officer at the event. He was eventually handed over to the US Secret Service.

The man holds a British driving license and he has admitted to a Secret Service agent that he had driven to the city from California with plans to shoot Mr Trump. The suspect claims to have been in the US for around 18 months and he has been nurturing the plan to kill Donald Trump for the last one year.
The man had arrived in New Jersey before ending up in the San Bernardino, California, and had driven down to Las Vegas after seeing reports that Mr Trump would be holding an event there. Once in Las Vegas, he went to a gun range to learn how to shoot a gun - he had never used a gun before.
