Reagan shooter explains his motive after 45 years

Forty-five years after the assassination attempt, John Hinckley Jr. revealed that his motive for shooting former U.S. President Ronald Reagan was his pathological obsession with actress Jodie Foster, especially due to his admiration for the film "Taxi Driver" in which she starred. After watching her in college and repeatedly trying to contact her, he mistakenly believed that the assassination attempt would lead to a lasting relationship with her. He now describes this as a delusional psychiatric disorder. It is worth noting that Hinckley was detained after the attack, declared not guilty by reason of insanity, spent years in mental institutions, and is currently working on music and writing his autobiography.
