Yes, President Reagan was shot in an assassination attempt by John Hinckley at 2:27 PM on 30 March 1981. Using a Röhm RG-14 .22 cal revolver, Hinckely discharged all six rounds in 1.7 seconds, hitting President Reagan with a ricochet off the limousine as Regan was being shoved into it by Secret Service agents.
All six shots were accounted for:
- James Bradey, White House Press Secretary was hit in the head.
- Thomas Delahnty, DC Police Officer was hit in the back as he shielded the President.
- The window of the building across the street.
- Timothy McCarthy, Secret Service Agent on protection detail was hit in the abdomen.
- Lodged in the window of the limousine.
- Ricocheted off the armor of the limo and hit Reagan in his left underarm; it grazed a rib, and lodged in his left lung one inch from his heart.
Special Agent in Charge Jerry Parr is credited with taking control of the situation, evacuating President Reagan, and saving the President's life.
