In 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot by a would-be assassin as he left Washington's Hilton Hotel. Three other people were wounded in the attack. Reagan spent the next two weeks in a hospital recovering from his wounds. John Hinckley, Jr., was ordered to spend the rest of his life behind bars for the attack.
Just something to reflect on.
I remember. My parents, brother and I were in California visiting some friends. We were on the wharf eating pizza and this woman shouts out "The President's just been shot!"
At first we were just stunned. Almost not believeing her.
