(BBC News) A man armed with guns and a high-capacity magazine was arrested outside Donald Trump’s rally in California on Saturday, police say.

Vem Miller, 49, was arrested near a checkpoint to the Coachella rally site. He was stopped and found to be in possession of multiple passports and driving licences in different names, and a fake licence plate.

The incident “did not affect the safety of former President Trump or attendees of the event,” police say.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco says officers probably prevented a third assassination attempt, but the suspect was a “lunatic”.
