British protester arrested for trying to shoot Donald Trump at Las Vegas rally

A British man was arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab a police officer's gun and wanted to shoot the billionaire Republican presidential candidate.
Protester Michael Steven Sandford, who appeared in court on Monday, even went to a gun range on Friday so he could learn how to fire a pistol.
The 20-year-old was arrested at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino on Saturday after going for a metro police officer's gun.
Sandford, who is originally from Surrey and was carrying a UK driver's licence, had been living illegally for 18 months in New Jersey after his visa expired and had been sleeping in his car.
A secret service report said Sandford told officers he had been planning the Vegas assassination for around 12 months and believed he would die in the process. 
He also had tickets for a rally in Phoenix later that day in case the gun grab failed and told officers if Trump 'were on the street tomorrow, he would try this again'.
Sandford was charged with an act of violence on restricted grounds, according to a complaint filed on Monday in US District Court in Nevada.
