Suspect Says He Wanted to Kill Trump

嫌疑人稱其企圖殺死特朗普

Police arrested a British man in Las Vegas last Saturday for what they say was an attempt to kill Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

警方上周六在拉斯維加斯逮捕了一名英國(guó)人，原因是其企圖殺死共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人唐納德·特朗普。

Michael Steven Sandford attended a Trump campaign event in Las Vegas. The complaint says he tried to take a gun from a police officer who was providing security.

邁克爾·史蒂芬·桑福德參加了特朗普在拉斯維加斯的競(jìng)選活動(dòng)。控方稱他試圖從一名安保警察手里獲得一把手槍。

The Secret Service wrote in the court document, "Sandford claimed he had been planning to attempt to kill Trump for about a year.” The document, however, does not provide any motive.

聯(lián)邦經(jīng)濟(jì)情報(bào)局在法院公文中寫道：“桑得福聲稱他已經(jīng)為殺死特朗普計(jì)劃了將近一年。”但是，該公文中并未透露任何殺人動(dòng)機(jī)。

Sandford told officials that the first time he fired a gun was last Friday when he went to a Las Vegas gun range to learn how to shoot.

桑得福告訴有關(guān)官員，他第一次開槍是上周五，當(dāng)時(shí)他去拉斯維加斯一個(gè)射擊靶場(chǎng)學(xué)習(xí)如何射擊。

He went on to say that if he were released from custody, he would try again to kill Trump. Sandford told officials that if he had not acted in Las Vegas, he would have acted at a Trump campaign event in Arizona.

他還說，如果他拘留后被釋放，他會(huì)在此嘗試殺了特朗普。桑得福告訴官方，如果他沒在阿拉斯加動(dòng)手，他就會(huì)在亞利桑那州的特朗普競(jìng)選活動(dòng)時(shí)動(dòng)手了。

The complaint says Sandford "was convinced he would be killed by law enforcement during his attempt on Trump's life."

控方稱桑得福“深信在他試圖殺死特朗普時(shí)會(huì)被執(zhí)行死刑”。

He is scheduled to appear in court on July 5.

按計(jì)劃他將于7月5日被審。
