A 21-year-old man was arrested near the Republican National Convention site in Milwaukee days after the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. The suspect, armed with an AK-47 pistol and wearing a ski mask, was stopped by Capitol Police and Homeland Security Investigations near the Fiserv Forum on July 15, where Trump was scheduled to appear later that day. Authorities grew suspicious due to the man's attire, including a ski mask and a tactical bag, which contained the AK-47 pistol and a loaded magazine. Milwaukee Police confirmed the arrest around 1 PM local time, noting the suspect did not have a valid concealed weapon permit in Wisconsin or any other state. This incident follows a deadly shooting at Trump's campaign rally in Pennsylvania, where a gunman opened fire, killing one rallygoer and injuring two others. Trump escaped with a minor injury. The shooter, 21-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by security officers.
