Ryan Routh was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday for his attempted assassination of President Donald Trump shortly before the 2024 presidential election. The attorney for the 59-year-old Hawaiian native was seeking a 27-year prison sentence for Routh, which he said was a fair punishment for the thwarted killing. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon disagreed and slapped him with a life sentence. CNN's Randi Kaye reported Routh was hit with an additional 402 months on top of the life sentence for his various charges.

When officers approached to investigate, Rice allegedly took off and led police on a brief chase. As the foot pursuit continued onto nearby Kenilworth Street, police allege Rice fired a gun at the officers and struck one of them in the arm. Police returned fire and struck Rice, and both he and the wounded officer were taken to local hospitals with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
