Residents living near suspect Ryan Wesley Routh in North Carolina have expressed shock and fear following his alleged attempt to assassinate former President Trump while he was golfing over the weekend. Routh, who most recently resided in Hawaii, had previously lived in Greensboro, North Carolina.
One neighbor, who chose to remain anonymous, revealed that she had known Routh for approximately two decades. She expressed disbelief at the news of his alleged actions, stating, 'Him, I mean, trying to shoot Trump. That’s a lot. I would have never guessed, and I would have swore up and down, no, that’s not him.' She further added, 'I just can’t believe it. I mean, if I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I mean the pictures and stuff and all, then I wouldn’t be able to believe that.'
