How did he try to kill Mr. President exactly?

He was hiding in a bush presumably waiting for him to come by or something and Secret Service saw his gun pointing out of the bush and shot at him.

Pretty pathetic in my opinion.

They even admitted that there's a lot of dense cover around and he'd basically be invisible if he didn't stick his gun out.
