Would-be Trump assassin tries to stab himself in neck after guilty verdict

Ryan Routh, the 59-year-old accused of attempting to kill Donald Trump as the former and future president played a round of golf on his Florida course last year – the second attempt on Trump’s life during his second campaign – has been found guilty on all charges against him.

Routh tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen after the verdict was read, but authorities stopped him.

A sketch artist who was in the first row of the courtroom said Routh had “no emotion” during the verdict. Lothar Speer started a drawing when he heard Routh’s daughter yell from behind: “Oh my god, he’s trying to kill himself, he’s trying to kill himself! Someone stop him, please!”

An IT specialist who witnessed Routh try to stab himself said the defendant was tackled by marshals and dragged out of the courtroom’s side entrance. When he returned to court, he was shackled.
