John Hinckley, Jr seriously wounded Reagan. He was trying to impress his idol, Jodie Foster.
John Hinkley is the man who shot but didn't kill Ronald Reagan. He is still alive and is still serving jail-time.
Robert De Niro did not attempt to kill Ronald Reagan; instead, the actor's name was associated with the assassination attempt on Reagan due to the film "Taxi Driver." In the movie, De Niro's character, Travis Bickle, becomes obsessed with a presidential candidate, which inspired John Hinckley Jr. to shoot Reagan in 1981 in an effort to impress actress Jodie Foster, whom he believed he was mimicking from the film. De Niro himself was not involved in any criminal activity related to Reagan's assassination attempt.
Ronald Reagan was not killed; he survived an assassination attempt on March 30, 1981, when John Hinckley Jr. shot him outside a hotel in Washington, D.C. Hinckley was motivated by a desire to impress actress Jodie Foster and was later found not guilty by reason of insanity. Reagan sustained injuries but recovered and went on to complete his presidency.

No.
Yes, they do often travel long distances or get someone from a long way away to do it.
No. Ronald Reagan died of natural causes (advanced alzheimer's) long after his terms as president. James Brady was Reagan's press secretary and was with him when John Hinckley tried to assassinate President Reagan. Reagan and Brady were both shot, as well as a secret service agent who tried to shield the President and a D.C. police officer. Brady was shot in the head, but survived and eventually was able to walk & recovered most of his cognitive functions. After the shooting, he and his wife, Sarah, became strong gun control advocates. It would have been very easy for you to have answered this question yourself by simply entering both names into an internet search engine or going to a reference source such as Wikipedia and looking up either name.
