Hello! We don't have too many collaborative timelines on the board so I though that it would be pretty cool to start one up. I decided to make the Reagan assassination attempt as the POD for this one. Enjoy and please, if you have any ideas, contribute them to the timeline.
March 30, 1981 (POD): At 1:45 pm, the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, exited the Washington Hilton Hotel after speaking at a luncheon there. He was soon confronted by twenty-five year old John Hinckley Jr., Hinckley pulled out his .22 caliber revolver and shot at the president six times. His first bullet hit Reagan's press secretary, James Brady, in the head, and his second shot hit Washington police officer, Thomas Delahanty in the neck. It would be Hinckley's third bullet that mattered, though. Due to a delayed reaction by Secret Service Agent Jerry Parr, the bullet struck Reagan in the head and he would die within minutes.
March 30, 1981: Vice President George HW Bush is notified of President Reagan's death while in Fort Worth, he is quickly flown back to Washington D.C to receive the oath of office.
