First-hand account of Ronald Reagan’s shooting

Thirty years ago today, Ronald Reagan was shot at 2:27 p.m. But his former Chief Foreign Policy Adviser, Richard V. Allen, remembers the whole day vividly.

 

A visiting scholar at the National Constitution Center, Allen shares his account exclusively with the Constitution Daily, from the beginning of the day to the actions that saved the president’s life.

Even if you don’t remember the day, you’ll be impressed how well Allen does.
