An incident occurred at Donald Trump's rally in Coachella, California, which once again put the former US president's safety at risk. This time, 49-year-old Las Vegas resident Vem Miller was detained near the event with a shotgun and a pistol. This incident was the third attempt on Trump's life in the last few months.
Miller attempted to enter the rally using forged documents and passes allegedly issued for the press. According to security guards, his behavior aroused suspicion, which led to a search. During the check, Miller was found to be in possession of a firearm. The detainee was immediately handed over to local law enforcement for further investigation.
At this point, the police have not been able to establish whether the attacker had accomplices or what specific goals he was pursuing. An investigation is underway to examine his biography, connections and possible motives.
Donald Trump's security services have been quick to step up their efforts to protect the former president, especially as the election campaign heats up. Despite the threat, Trump continues to hold mass rallies and meetings with voters, promising his supporters "long-awaited changes" if he wins the 2024 presidential election.
Trump's press service has so far refrained from commenting, but it is already known that the planned performance at Coachella was not cancelled. According to eyewitnesses, the former president remained calm and continued the event as usual, not paying much attention to the incident.
