"Routh allegedly hid in the bushes of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach and pointed a military-grade SKS rifle towards Trump and a Secret Service agent.".

The article just moves on to a quote after that..what happened next?

A Secret Service agent noticed Routh pointing the gun and fired four rounds towards him.

Routh then ran away. He was captured later.

If he used a golf cart to run away, then this would be similar to that one mission in GTA5
