Reagan’s Assassination Attempt

On March 30th, 1981, John Hinckley Jr. tried to shoot and kill President Ronald Reagan. The perpetrator’s motive was far from expectations. He wanted to impress Jodie Foster, a young actress at the time, who had “fallen in love” with a presidential assassin in a movie called, Taxi Driver. One of the bullets he fired ricocheted and struck the president in the chest, but thankfully he survived.
