LIVE: Trump assassination attempt press conference | FOX 4 News

The FBI, Secret Service and Palm Beach Sheriff hold a news conference at the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office regarding Sunday’s attempted assassination at Trump National Golf Club in Florida. U.S. Secret Service agents protecting the Republican presidential nominee at one of his golf courses in West Palm Beach fired at a man pointing an AK-style rifle with a scope. Local authorities said the gunman was about 400 yards to 500 yards away from Trump and hiding in shrubbery. Law enforcement officials said the man who pointed the rifle and was arrested was 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh. The officials identified the suspect to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation. He was arrested in a neighboring county within minutes of authorities putting out a "very urgent" alert detailing his vehicle, license plate number and description of him. On Monday, Routh appeared briefly in a courtroom in West Palm Beach and was charged with federal gun crimes.
