\nPresident Reagan is rushed to George Washington University Hospital<\/em><\/p>\n

On March 30, 1981, President Reagan was shot outside a Washington, D.C. hotel by a meltdown named John Hinckley Jr.<\/p>\n

The President had just finished addressing a labor meeting at the Washington Hilton Hotel and was walking to his limousine when Hinckley fired six shots at the president. Reagan and three others were hit. Press Secretary James Brady was shot in the head and critically wounded, Secret Service Agent Timothy McCarthy was shot in his side, and District of Columbia policeman Thomas Delahanty was shot in the neck. Hinckley was subsequently overpowered while Reagan was taken to George Washington University Hospital.<\/p>\n

President Ronald Reagan had just finished delivering an address before the AFL-CIO’s Building and Construction union on March 30, 1981, when John Hinckley Jr. opened fire, shooting the 40th president and three others.<\/p>\n

That happened 40 years ago today.<\/p>\n

Reagan, who was quickly rushed into his limousine and taken to a hospital, was famously in good humor at George Washington University Hospital when he was about to undergo treatment.<\/p>\n

“Honey, I forgot to duck,” Reagan told first lady Nancy Reagan before surgery. He also joked to his doctors, “Please tell me you’re Republicans.”<\/p>\n

The president had suffered a collapsed lung as a result of the attack, but was in stable condition following surgery and resumed some of his official duties the day after the procedure.<\/p>\n

Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy was shot in the side and D.C. Police Officer Thomas Delahanty was shot in the neck. Both men recovered.<\/p>\n

Reagan press secretary James Brady was shot in the eye and suffered brain damage. He ultimately died in 2014, and law enforcement officials ruled his death a homicide due to its connection to the 1981 shooting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was very close- the president was shot in the left lung, with the .22 caliber bullet just missing his heart. Read the entire article here: Fox News<\/a>
