chest outside a Washington, D.C. hotel by a drifter named
John Hinckley Jr.

entourage to his limousine when Hinckley, standing among
a group of reporters, fired six shots at the president, hitting
Reagan and three of his attendants.

head and critically wounded, Secret Service agent Timothy
McCarthy was shot in the side, and District of Columbia
