Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was apprehended after attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. Routh, equipped with an AK-47 style rifle, had waited in the bushes for nearly 12 hours before being spotted by a Secret Service agent who opened fire, prompting Routh to flee. Authorities are investigating his motives, methods, and whether he acted alone. Routh, previously a supporter of Trump, had grown disillusioned with him and had also expressed support for Ukraine. He faces federal gun charges and more charges are expected. This incident follows a previous assassination attempt on Trump two months prior, raising significant security concerns.
