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.

John F. Kennedy
John F. Kennedy was the 35th president of the United States, between 1961 until 1963. Affectionately known as JFK, his term was so short because tragically, he was assassinated in 1963. Interestingly, JFK is the only Roman Catholic to ever be president. He was also praised for his superb leadership skills during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and was renowned for establishing the Peace Corps.
