In a shocking turn of events, Ryan Routh, a 58-year-old suspect, has been charged with gun crimes following an apparent second assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump.
According to federal prosecutors, Routh faces two charges: possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
The incident unfolded at Trump’s Florida golf course, where Routh was found hiding with a rifle before being apprehended by authorities.
This disturbing event comes on the heels of a previous shooting incident at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July, which left Trump with a grazed ear and claimed the life of one attendee.
