An undated selfie shows Ryan W. Routh, a suspect identified by news organizations, as the FBI investigates what they said was an apparent assassination attempt in Florida on Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump, in this image obtained from social media.
The suspect in an apparent assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump is making his first appearance Monday in federal court in Florida.
Routh was arrested Sunday after U.S. Secret Service agents opened fire near Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach while the Republican nominee was playing a round.
The incident could mark the second assassination attempt against him in two months.
Trump's ear was grazed by a bullet during a prior assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in July.
