How the Trump assassination attempt compares to Ronald Reagan's

SUMMARY

The assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump draws comparisons to the 1981 attempt on Ronald Reagan's life. Both incidents involved presidential figures being wounded by gunfire. In Trump's case, the assailant, Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire at a rally in Pennsylvania, grazing Trump's ear and killing an attendee. Similarly, Reagan was nearly killed by a bullet from John Hinckley Jr.
