March 30th 1981 John Hinckley, Jr. shot Reagan along with his press secretary James Brady and 2 others. Although he missed Reagan’s heart by less than an inch it pierced his left lung. He coughed up blood and was hurried to the George Washington University Hospital where he was to get a surgery. Before his surgery took place he joked to the surgeons saying “I hope you’re all Republicans!” although they weren’t J. Giordano replied “today, Mr. President were all Republicans.”
On June 5th 2004 in California Reagan was found dead in his home at Bel Air. After his death Nancy Reagan revealed that President Ronald Reagan died after 10 years suffering the disease of Alzheimer. June 11th was declared National Day of Mourning by George W. Bush.
