Today in History - March 30, 1981 - President Reagan is Shot

President Reagan is Shot - March 30, 1981

   Today President Ronald Reagan was shot by John Hinckley Jr. The former President survived the ordeal, and the verdict for John Hinckley Jr. was 'not guilty by reason of insanity'. It appears that Hinckley was acting out the movie, Taxi Driver, which depicted a senator getting shot. Hinckley ended up being admitted to a mental institution in the 1990s and is allowed some freedoms as long as his mental illness remains in remission.
