Reagan shooter calls link to Washington hotel ‘spooky’ after alleged Trump assassination attempt at same site

John Hinckley Jr., the man who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981, called it 'spooky' that an alleged Trump assassination attempt occurred at the same Washington Hilton hotel. The 32-year-old suspect, Cole Allen, fired shots during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, injuring a Secret Service agent. Trump and others were evacuated, while Hinckley criticized the hotel's security for hosting large events.
