Abraham Lincoln was the first president to be assassinated. The other threes presidents to be assassinated were Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy,

The first assassination attempt was against Andrew Jackson, the ninth US President and he was lucky that the assassin's guns both misfired. Ronald Reagan was the only president to be wounded in an assassination attempt and survive.

Abraham Lincoln was the first president to be assassinated, when he was shot in the back of the head while attending a play at Ford's Theater in Washington DC on the night of April 14, 1865. He officially died early the next morning.

The first attempted (and failed) assassination was on Andrew Jackson in 1835. An insane man tried to shoot Jackson, but his gun failed to fire. He tried to shoot a second gun at Jackson, which also failed to fire. Jackson, a former military officer and war hero, noticed the attempt and beat the man with a cane until the assassin was arrested.
