WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The man suspected in an apparent assassination attempt targeting Donald Trump camped outside a Florida golf course with food and a rifle for nearly 12 hours. That’s according to court documents filed Monday. The papers indicated that the suspect was lying in wait for the former president before a Secret Service agent thwarted the potential attack and opened fire. Officials said Ryan Wesley Routh did not fire any shots, never had Trump in his line of sight and sped away after being shot at by an agent who spotted him. He was arrested in a neighboring county. The 58-year-old Routh appeared in federal court in West Palm Beach to face federal firearms charges. (Photo: AP)
