Press secretary James Brady, policeman Thomas K. Delahanthy and secret service agent Timothy J. McCarthy, who threw himself into the line of fire, lie wounded outside a hotel. Delahanty, on crowd control duty, was standing close to the alleged gunman, John Warnock Hinckley Jr., when he pushed a pistol through a cluster of bystanders and fired. In the attempted assassination, six shots were fired at President Ronald Reagan, who was hit in the chest.
