A video captured by Fox News Digital reveals the exact location where suspect Ryan Routh allegedly hid in the bushes, aiming a rifle at former President Trump as he played golf.
In a sinister turn of events, a video obtained by Fox News Digital has shed light on the chilling spot where Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to assassinate former President Trump, is believed to have concealed himself in the shadows.
The footage captures a seemingly innocuous gap in the bushes lining the perimeter of Trump's International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Accessible from a nearby sidewalk, the hideout remains hidden from plain sight until one stumbles upon it.

Zooming in on the gap reveals more dense bushes on the golf course property beyond the fence, further obscuring the lurking spot. It was here, in this exact location, that Routh allegedly set up camp on Sunday, just hours before his arrest.
Charging documents made public on Monday paint a chilling timeline, indicating that Routh's phone was tracked near the golf club for a significant period of time, spanning from 1:59 a.m. to approximately 1:31 p.m. that same day.

Routh's sinister plot was thwarted just shortly after 1:30 p.m. when he allegedly pointed an SKS-style rifle through a chain-link fence towards the area where Trump was golfing. The eagle-eyed U.S. Secret Service agents protecting the former president noticed the rifle's muzzle, prompting them to open fire at the suspect.
At the scene of Routh's alleged hideout, law enforcement discovered a loaded SKS-style rifle, complete with a scope and its serial number deliberately removed. Two bags were also found nearby, one containing food supplies, and a digital video camera.

The gravity of Routh's actions has resulted in severe charges being brought against him. If convicted of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, he faces up to 15 years behind bars. An additional five years could be added for possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
As the investigation into this chilling incident continues, additional charges may be filed against Routh. The video evidence and the chilling revelations it unveils paint a disturbing portrait of a man driven by sinister intent, targeting the safety of one of America's most prominent figures.
