Reagan’s Assassination Attempt
On March 30th, 1981 John Hinckley Jr. attempted to take Ronald Reagan’s life. The reasoning behind the attempted assassination is much different from what you’d think; the would-be assassin took a shot at Reagan to impress actress Jodie Foster. Though he was hit by a ricocheted bullet, he survived, and later joked to his wife, “I forgot to duck.”
