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.

Reagan sustained injuries but recovered and went on to complete his presidency.
