Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has survived another attempt on his life following the capture of a man with a concealed AK-47 near the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee.
A Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent and US Capitol Police were patrolling the RNC “exterior zone one” on Monday, July 15.
While driving north on 11th Street near Highland in Milwaukee, they spotted a man “wearing black pants, a long sleeve tan sweatshirt, black gloves, a ski mask, and carrying a large black tactical backpack,” the complaint says.

The man was walking away from an RNC security checkpoint. The Special Agent “noticed the backpack was hanging low on the individual and seemed as if it were heavy,” the complaint says.

The Special Agent pulled up next to the defendant, identified as Donnell Tinsley, and began a conversation.
Fox6 reports: The complaint says the agent noticed “Tinsley’s hands shaking, and Tinsley began to look left and right.”
The agent noticed a bulge in the defendant’s waist band.
When Tinsley was asked if he had a firearm, he said, “No.” Tinsley then said, “You can check me, go ahead and look,” the complaint says.
After a pat down of Tinsley, the complaint says he consented to a search of his backpack.
When the agent opened the bag, he immediately spotted a “concealed AK-47 pistol in the backpack,” the complaint says.
The Special Agent asked the defendant if he had a concealed carry permit, and Tinsley stated he did not.
Tinsley was then taken into custody.
Tinsley was scheduled to make his initial appearance in Milwaukee County court on Wednesday, July 17.
