A profile has started to take shape of Ryan Wesley Routh, the man suspected of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump on Sunday.

It happened while Trump was golfing in West Palm Beach, Florida, and he was unharmed. The suspect, identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, was arrested a short time later, and of course many details remain unconfirmed at this point.

However, a New York Times piece about Ukraine included details of his life, about how he traveled to Ukraine to fight, and then turned to recruiting other fighters to travel there.
