Reagan was shot through the open crack of the bullet proof door, who was rushed to a hospital. Hinckley fired off 6 bullets that hit three people including the President. He was less than 6 feet from the Presidential motorcade. Police said he didn't look like a deranged assassin, but only as a college student. Hinckley would later admit that he shot the President because of his obsession with actress Jody Foster. She had received letters from Hinckley and handed them over to the FBI.
