The suspect was taken into custody and identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, 58. He hid in bushes and pointed an AR-style rifle with a scope at Trump, who was about 400 yards away, officials said.
Routh was charged today with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
Court records show more than 100 criminal counts have been filed against Routh in North Carolina. He has previously spoken about his efforts to recruit people to fight in support of Ukraine against Russia. nbcnews.com
