Ryan Routh faces charges for allegedly aiming a rifle near Donald Trump's Florida golf course in a suspected assassination attempt. Routh, a convicted felon, had an SKS-style rifle with an obliterated serial number. He was arrested after a U.S. Secret Service agent fired at him, causing him to flee. The FBI is investigating the incident as a potential assassination attempt on Donald Trump ahead of the November 5th presidential election. It follows a similar incident two months earlier when a gunman wounded Trump during a rally.
