In an instant, four people fell, and plainclothes police rushed forward and grabbed the gunman. On March 30, 1981, President Reagan delivered a speech at a labor rally at the Hilton Hotel in Washington. He was shot and injured in the chest as he returned to his car. His press secretary, James Brady, and two accompanying officers were also injured. According to reports, the president is in "good" and "stable" tonight after more than two hours of surgery at George Washington University Hospital. Dr. Dennis O'Leary said,"The operation was extremely good.""He's clear-headed and can deal with state affairs tomorrow." Authorities have arrested 25-year-old John W. Hinckley, of Colorado. Federal court will charge him with attempted murder of the president. He has been imprisoned without bail. As Reagan walked to his car, a series of five or six bullets were fired from about 10 feet away. The president had just raised his left arm and waved to the crowd when he was shot. There was a look of confusion and disbelief on the president's face as he was pushed into a factory car by a secret police officer. After the president sat in the back seat, the car quickly drove to the hospital. At the scene of the accident, Reagan's press secretary, Jim Brady, fell on the sidewalk seriously injured, blood dripping from a wound in his brain onto the steel grille. Next to him, a plainclothes policeman lay on the dripping sidewalk, curled up in pain. When Reagan appeared, Hinckley was standing with a large group of television staff and reporters in the hotel. After the last bullet was fired, plainclothes police officers and officers rushed at him and captured him instantly. Reagan left the Hilton Hotel after his speech and Reagan was assassinated
