HINCKLEY, John W., Jr. (1955-): Accused Assailant of Ronald Reagan On March 30, 1981 Ronald Reagan became the eighth sitting president of the United States to be subjected to an assassination attempt and the fourth —— after Andrew Jackson, Harry Truman and Gerald Ford —— to survive. Reagan was shot by a 25-year-old drifter, John W. Hinckley of Evergreen, Colo., as he left the Washington Hilton Hotel, where he had addressed a labor audience. The assailant was seized immediately after having fired four to six shots from a 22-caliber revolver, a type entered under the left armpit, pierced the chest, bounced off the seventh rib and plowed into the left lower lobe of the lung. Reagan froze for a moment at the door of his limousine and then was brusquely pushed inside the car by a Secret Service agent. Remarkably, the President did not realize he had been shot but thought he had simply been injured when shoved into the car. Only upon arrival at the hospital was it determined that he had been shot. Also wounded were three others: the Presidents press secretary, James S. Brady; a Secret Service agent, Timothy J. McCarthy; and a District of Columbia police officer in Dallas and moved with his family to Colorado in 1974. He had attended Texas Tech University but never graduated. At times he had traveled across the country, and in 1978 he had enrolled himself in the National Socialist Party of America, generally known as the Nazi Party of America. A spokesman for that organization said the group had not renewed Hinckleys membership the following year because of his "violent nature".
