President Lincoln was killed in 1865, after being elected in 1860 and reelected in 1864. Lincoln was shot and injured on Apr.14, 1865 at 10,13 PM and died on Apr.15, 1865 at 7,22 AM.

While attending a play at Ford's Theater on the evening of April 14, 1865, Lincoln was shot in the head at point blank range by John Wilkes Booth, an actor and Southern sympathizer. Booth used a single-shot Deringer pistol. Lincoln was taken to the nearby Petersen House and died the next morning, on April 15(9 hours after being shot).
On Good Friday, April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, was assassinated at Ford's Theatre in Washington by John Wilkes Booth, an actor.

President Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theater in Washington DC. It was the night of Good Friday, 14 April 1865. He succumbed to his wounds in a boarding house across the street from the theater early the next morning.
