58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh was identified as the would-be assassin.

Secret Service agents noticed the barrel of an AK-style rifle protruding from the bushes near where Trump was playing golf.

An agent fired at the suspect, who then fled the scene in a black Nissan SUV, leaving behind the rifle, backpacks, a scope, and a GoPro camera.

The suspect ran from the trees but was spotted by a witness who captured a photo of his black Nissan. The witness provided police with photos of the fleeing vehicle and its license plate number.

While authorities have not yet disclosed specific motives, a complicated portrait of Routh is beginning to emerge, revealing a history of support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, alongside a lengthy record of criminal and civil court issues.

Routh’s background is marred by significant legal troubles, with over 100 criminal charges filed against him in North Carolina, primarily in Guilford County. These charges include convictions for possessing a machine gun, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of stolen property, hit-and-run offenses, and possessing a weapon of mass destruction.
