On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and wounded in an assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr. outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Reagan had just finished giving a speech when Hinckley fired six shots, hitting Reagan and three other people. Reagan was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery to remove a bullet from his lung.

I dislike those cameras worn by the “Youtuber.” They make the viewer dizzy when the wearer turns. The effect is disorienting and unpleasant. Also, this video seems more about her than about the historical event. This whole “selfie” style of camera work is a mess.
Thank you for the comment. 😊
