One shot ricocheted off of the presidential limousine and hit then-President Ronald Reagan in the chest.<\/p>\n<p>Then-White House Press Secretary James Brady was shot in the eye. Secret Service Agent Timothy McCarthy and police officer Thomas Delahunty were also critically wounded by shots to the abdomen.<\/p>\n<p>The would-be assassin, 25-year-old John Hinckley Jr., was taken into custody and the Secret Service rushed Reagan to the hospital. Even after losing two and a half liters of blood, the president managed to keep his spirits up as he\u2019s prepped for surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Reagan took a moment to apologize to his wife Nancy while saying, \u201choney I forgot to duck.\u201d He then turned to the surgical staff who were waiting to asses the damage done by the .22 caliber bullet still in his chest and said \u201cplease tell me you\u2019re Republicans.\u201d The surgeon responded saying, \u201cwe\u2019re all Republicans today.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We memorialize the upcoming 40th anniversary of the assassination attempt on President Reagan\u2019s life in this week\u2019s Monday Minute in the Archives. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MondayMinute?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MondayMinute<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zMy3NtWJmQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/zMy3NtWJmQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Reagan Foundation and Institute (@RonaldReagan) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RonaldReagan\/status\/1376572384497504258?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 29, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Reagan remains the only U.S. president to have survived a shooting assassination attempt, which is a fact he was proud to tout to audiences around the world.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/eu-analyst-biden-appears-mentally-unfit-for-office\/\"> EU Analyst: Biden appears mentally unfit for office<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 In this July 13, 1980, file photo, Republican presidential hopeful Ronald Reagan, left smiles with Bill Brock, right, Republican National Chairman, during a news conference in Los Angeles. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2275860,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-350308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2275860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
