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.
