Ryan Routh found guilty in Trump golf course assassination attempt

The man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump on a Florida golf course made his final argument Tuesday before the jury began deliberations.

FORT PIERCE, Fla. — The trial of Ryan Wesley Routh came to a dramatic end Tuesday when he tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen after a Florida jury found him guilty of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump last year on a golf course.

"Dad, don't hurt yourself," Routh's daughter, Sara, screamed as the bailiffs struggled to restrain Routh and rushed him out of the courtroom.

A short time later, Routh was returned to the courtroom to complete the proceedings. This time, he was wearing handcuffs, but there was no blood visible on his white shirt, and he did not appear to have succeeded in harming himself.

"We love you, Dad," Routh's son, Adam, said after he was escorted out of the courtroom again.

Routh appeared to wink at his kids as he was being led away.
