Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Limley. At this hour, new details are emerging about an apparent assassination attempt in Florida targeting former President Donald Trump. year old Ryan Wesley Roth camped near the West Palm Beach golf course for nearly 12 hours, armed with a rifle and supplies, before a Secret Service agent confronted him and opened fire. Roth, who has a prior felony conviction, now faces charges for possessing a firearm

and an obliterated serial number. Authorities spotted the muzzle of a firearm sticking out from shrubbery near the course where Trump was playing. Roth dropped the weapon and fled in an SUV after being fired upon by a Secret Service agent. He was later apprehended by law enforcement in a neighboring county. An FBI affidavit details how investigators used cell phone data to place Roth at the golf course from early that morning until the time of his arrest. While authorities have not disclosed a motive, they noted that Roth has an online history reflecting shifting political views and strong reactions to global events. During a brief court appearance in West Palm Beach, Roth, shackled and wearing a blue jumpsuit, answered questions about his employment status and income. Prosecutors argued that he poses a flight risk and should remain in custody. This incident marks the second assassination attempt targeting Trump in as many months. In Congo, a military court has sentenced three Americans along with

dozens of other individuals to death for their alleged involvement in a coup attempt. For more, we turn to Sydney Sumner of Crime Online. The convictions came as part of a verdict by Judge Major Freddie Ehuma during an open-air proceeding. A total of 37 people were found guilty, including nationals from Britain, Belgium, and Canada, alongside Congolese citizens. The charges ranged from terrorism and murder to illegal possession of weapons. The defendants, who were mostly Congolese, faced what authorities called the harshest penalty, as Congo reinstated the death penalty earlier this year. The move came after a more than two-decade moratorium as the government grapples with widespread violence and militant activity. Lawyers for

the six foreigners, including the Americans, have vowed to appeal the ruling. Under Congolese law, the defendants have five days to file their appeal. Richard Bondo, the attorney representing the Americans and three other foreign nationals confirmed plans to challenge the court's decision. The U.S. State Department, which strongly discourages travel to Congo due to concerns over violent crime and civil unrest, has not classified the Americans as wrongfully detained. This designation would have been a crucial step in opening negotiations for their return. With that status not granted, it remains unclear how or if U.S. officials will intervene. Executions in Congo often carried out by firing squad may follow soon after the appeals process is exhausted.

For now, the fate of the convicted remains uncertain as legal teams prepare for next steps in this high-stakes case. Thanks, John.
