The shooting incident involving former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on the 13th (local time) marks the first assassination attempt on a high-profile politician in 43 years since the 1981 incident involving President Ronald Reagan.

According to the Associated Press, citing law enforcement officials, "This attack, in which the shooter was killed by the Secret Service after being shot, was the first attempt to assassinate a sitting president or presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981."

The assassination that remains etched in the minds of people worldwide is the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy (JFK). JFK was fatally shot by Lee Harvey Oswald during a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. Oswald was later shot and killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby while being transferred for trial. Subsequently, Robert F. Kennedy was also assassinated in 1968. In 1972, Arthur Bremer, running as an independent, shot and seriously wounded George Wallace during his campaign. Trump’s case is rare both as a former president and as a current candidate.

John Hinckley, the assassin of President Ronald Reagan.

The Reagan assassination attempt occurred on March 30, 1981, when John Hinckley Jr. fired six shots at President Reagan in front of the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., but failed to kill him. It is reported that Hinckley committed the act to gain the attention of actress Jodie Foster, who starred in the movie "Taxi Driver." Initially, President Reagan was believed to have not been hit, but he suffered bleeding from his mouth and abdomen and underwent emergency surgery. Hinckley was charged with 13 counts but was deemed legally insane and therefore not punishable; the judge sentenced him to indefinite psychiatric treatment instead of criminal punishment. He was released in 2016 after 34 years of treatment at St. Elizabeths Hospital.
