"Hinckley stated that the Washington Hilton should stop hosting such high-profile events because bad things keep happening and it's just not a secure place to hold big events."
"He recalled that on March 30, 1981, security at the hotel was lax, as evidenced by the fact that he managed to plant himself among a group of reporters waiting for Reagan."
"After shots rang out during the recent event, Trump was whisked away by Secret Service, and a law enforcement officer was struck in their bulletproof vest, but fortunately, no one was killed."
John Hinckley Jr. expressed concerns about the security at the Washington Hilton, where he shot President Reagan in 1981. Following a recent incident where a gunman was arrested near the venue during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Hinckley stated that the hotel should stop hosting high-profile events due to its inadequate security. He recalled the lax security during his own assassination attempt on Reagan, emphasizing that such venues are not safe for significant gatherings. No fatalities occurred in the recent incident, but it raised alarms about the venue's security measures.
