Ronald Reagan assassination attempt Secret Service tapes

The Reagan assassination attempt occurred on Monday, March 30, 1981, just 69 days into the presidency of Ronald Reagan. While leaving a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Reagan and three others were shot and wounded by John Hinckley, Jr. Reagan suffered a punctured lung, but prompt medical attention allowed him to recover quickly.
Reagan was the first serving United States president to survive being shot in an assassination attempt. No formal invocation of presidential succession took place, although a controversial statement by Secretary of State Alexander Haig that he was "in control here" marked a short period during which Vice President George H. W. Bush was physically absent from Washington. Hinckley was found not guilty by reason of insanity and remains confined to a psychiatric facility.

Seems a little strange Reagan was shot but he was the last to go down, still standing and waving as everyone is ducking for cover.
