Gunman Who Shot Reagan Blasts Trump’s ‘Lax’ Security

The man who shot Ronald Reagan at the Washington Hilton Hotel in 1981 blasted the security failure at the same venue this weekend, where a gunman allegedly targeted President Trump.

John Hinckley Jr., who injured Reagan and three others, including White House Press Secretary James Brady, during the failed assassination attempt four decades ago, suggested there are still issues of “lax” security at the hotel and that it should not host high-profile events.
