Ryan Wesley Routh, a convicted felon, was charged with federal gun crimes after allegedly attempting to assassinate former President Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course. Routh, who camped near the course for 12 hours with a loaded SKS-style rifle, was spotted by the Secret Service, prompting agents to fire shots and eventually apprehend him after he fled. Trump praised the Secret Service and a civilian for their roles in the swift response, which ensured his safety. Investigators are now examining Routh's background and potential motives, with no current evidence of accomplices. This marks the second direct threat against Trump in recent months.
