Ryan Routh did not get a shot off at the agent who spotted him hiding on the public side of the golf course, Ronald Rowe, acting director of the service, told a press conference on Monday. Routh, 58, never had Trump in his sights, Rowe added.
The suspect appeared at a federal court on Monday. He was led into the courthouse in West Palm Beach with shackles around his hands and feet and was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. The former offence carries a 15-year prison sentence.

00:00We're here to announce that Ryan Wesley Routh, 58 years old, of Hawaii, has been charged by a criminal complaint in the Southern District of Florida
00:10with firearms offenses related to an incident which occurred yesterday at Trump International Golf Course right here in West Palm Beach.
00:19Routh was charged federally with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession and receipt of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
00:30Cellular data shows that the subject was in the vicinity of the golf course roughly 12 hours before the engagement with the United States Secret Service.
00:39Our investigative teams conducted a neighborhood canvas in an effort to collect and obtain relevant video footage.
00:47The subject had an active online presence and we are going through what he posted and any searches he conducted online.
00:57In addition, we're going through media reports and public statements he made that he wanted to recruit Afghan soldiers and others to fight for Ukraine.
01:07The president called me last night, President Trump. He thanked me for everything that we did along with the Secret Service.
01:14He knows we work great together and he feels safe. That's important because he is.
01:21And what we did yesterday proves that the system can work because the suspect didn't even get close to getting a round off and we apprehended him and brought him to justice.
01:35So we're very, very proud of that.
