Suspect in apparent Trump assassination attempt hit with two gun charges….

Ryan Wesley Routh was charged with two firearm offenses in federal court on Monday. If convicted on the two firearms charges, he could face a maximum sentence of 20 years.
Routh, 58, was armed with an AK-47-style rifle and was allegedly 300-500 yards away from former President Donald Trump at Trump International Golf Course when members of the Secret Service detail spotted him and opened fire, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. The head of the Secret Service said the suspect “did not fire or get off any shots at our agent” and did not have a line of sight to Trump.
Routh was pulled over and detained about 50 miles away after a law enforcement alert was issued for the black Nissan with the license plate number. He did not resist when he was taken into custody.
Law enforcement officials say they found the rifle, a scope, two backpacks with ceramic tile and a GoPro camera in the bushes at the golf course.
Several people who have spoken with Trump say he was in good spirits Sunday night and has recounted what happened to multiple friends, family members and advisers. He thanked the Secret Service for their response. He also joked that he wishes he could have finished his round of golf. He has told others he is determined to keep on campaigning this week.
