Today in History

March 30, 1981

On this day in 1981, President Reagan was shot, only 69 days into the new administration. He–along with press secretary James Brady, Washington police officer Thomas Delahanty, and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy–was struck when would-be assassin, John Hinckley Jr., opened fire outside the Washington Hilton Hotel.
