A jury has found Ryan Routh, the man who plotted to shoot President Donald Trump, guilty on all five counts, NBC News reported Tuesday.
Ruth poked a gun through the shrubbery at Trump's Doral golf club in Florida, but the Secret Service saw him. He then fled the scene and was caught and arrested in September last year.
Routh represented himself in court.
He was convicted of attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer, possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. He had pleaded not guilty.
Reports claimed Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen after hearing the verdict. His daughter, who was in court, begged her father, "Don't hurt yourself," and promised, "We'll get you out," the reports stated. He was unhurt.
