Correct answer: John Hinckley Jr.

Reagan, always one with a punchline, told his wife after the shooting,"Honey, I forgot to duck!"

Molly Bear, it's too bad they didn't even mention him, I mean come on- Brady was forever in a wheelchair after that.

HarleyMidgeyMom95., I guess I was about 13. I was with my parents eating at a pizza parlor in the afternoon. we were sitting there eating our pizza and the TV came on and you could see that something was wrong but the sound was down. My father walked over and reached up and turn the sound up cuz he was rather tall. One of the people that work there got a little Disturbed with him and told him not to touch the TV. He Whirled around and told the guy "the president just got shot!" so I guess the kid backed off after that

SAcookiee65, I hear you, my (trivia-loving) friend. I was a young child when JFK got assassinated. My gramma (who lived w/us) got so upset that she had an asthma attack; I remember my Mom taking us all to the Dr's ofc (this was the pre-inhaler era) and all the peo there were crying.
Yes, I'm old...

I’m a janitor for the Ronald Reagan Elementary school. His picture is in the hall. I was 24 when he was shot. I voted for Ronald Reagan. I believe he was the first president I voted for.

ladyshyye, My grandfather said it was because he was Irish Catholic and the CIA was involved. The guy they accused was just a scapegoat. Kennedy was shot in Texas. Johnson home state. Looks rather shady to me.

Matthew Brady was paralyzed by one of the bullets. The Brady Bill, which created a waiting period for people applying for a gun license, was a result of that.
Unfortunately, there have been very few additional gun control laws since then.

prplgrl, yea . . I have no recollection of that bc I was only 2 but after I was married and living in Dallas there was such a circus over at “the grassy knoll” area. I was SO sick of hearing about it and all the conspiracy theories . . Why can’t anyone (hardly) accept that it was Oswald up on the building? 1 person can be totally obsessed with JFK enough to kill him . . . And Oswald was a sick man 🤯

Mom mom Cindy , Hinckley was "released from court oversight" in 2022. So, there is no supervision. He's as free as you or I.

Reina , I think he was recently released from the mental hospital

Sadly, Hickley just was released from an institution not too long ago...2022.

They only use his first name middle initial and last name. that's because the President didn't die. They only use their full name (like Lee Harvey Oswall) when the President dies. Just awareness...

joyfulmom8, I also heard that as they were wheeling him away on the gurney he said, "Who's watching the store?" meaning the White House...the country. 😂

Reagan was struck by a bullet that hit a bullet proof window and then hit him. The car was brought to Creighton PA and the PPG plant where I worked to be repaired. The secret service came with it.

prplgrl, What a horrible and sad day it was indeed ! I remember in my youth as well. This was the day our country died. Politics and Goverment, CIA, FBI, etc had all changed and not for the better as most know. When the Rod of Iron comes all will be well and truth will be restored to a most perfect world, a state of which mankind will never achieve !
