About This Image

A wiire photograph of the sequence in the assassination attempt on President Reagan with pasted caption on verso and mounted. The Reagan assassination attempt occurred on March 30, 1981, just 69 days into the presidency of Ronald Reagan.While leaving a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley, Jr.. Reagan suffered a punctured lung, but prompt medical attention allowed him to recover quickly despite his age. Reagan was the first serving United States president to survive being shot in an assassination attempt. No formal invocation of presidential succession took place, although a controversial statement by Secretary of State Alexander Haig that he was "in control here" marked a short period during which Vice President George H. W. Bush was physically absent, flying back to Washington, DC aboard Air Force Two from a speech in Fort Worth, TX. Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity and has remained confined to a psychiatric facility.
