3. Willian McKinley
Quickly after he gave a speech in Buffalo on September 6th, 1901, McKinley, the 25th president of America, was shot. A man opened fire at point-blank range, striking him twice in the chest as he shook hands with people going through a reception line.
Even though McKinley’s doctors anticipated his recovery, gangrene eventually developed around the gunshot wounds. He died on September 14th, 1901, six months after he began his second term, and was succeeded by Vice President Theodore Roosevelt.
Shortly after the politician’s death, 28-year-old Detroit native Leon F. Czolgosz confessed he was the shooter. He was found guilty at trial and was executed on October 29th, 1901, using an electric chair.

Nobody has the right to take someone else’s life. But in my opinion a person should feel safe at home and that’s why I think that the attack on president Harry Truman, who was staying in Blair House, by an intruder with the intention to kill, was the most tragic of the attacks mentioned in the article.

You missed one. Teddy Roosevelt was in Milwaukee Wisconsin to give a speech. I don’t remember the shooter’s name but Teddy luckily wasn’t killed as the bullet was somewhat slowed by his folded speech and tin glasses case in his pocket and it lodged in his chest muscle.
For the fame and as a response to being picked on as a student
I think the democrats were behind it in one way or another.
I think a lot of people (like me) just don’t like “crooked” president like Donald J. Trump.
what about Teddy Roosevelt? He was actually shot.
I think it is amazing that they ever let any of the assassin’s out of jail.
He was hired by the regime !!!!
The short answer is hell no it is not okay to shoot the leadership! But the more important question is when are the citizens going to stop the alphabet soup agencies from setting up the shootings! And then covering up their crimes!
Yeah a known threat on a roof with a gun and Trumps so called protector’s keep Trump on stage to allow him to be shot and only react after eight shots are fired! So we are to believe the twenty year old out smarted all law enforcement when the civilians were jumping up and down telling the cops about the shooter! Trump needs to dump the secret service quick!
Many people just hate others, for no real good reason! Nine Presidents, or people running for Presidents were shot. Some died, others were wounded. Many of the reasons may make no sense, or we may never find out the truth.
i think the tramp shooting was a joke if not a stunt made up to deter the fact he may end up going to prison if he doesn’t buy his way out of it. i mean come on, think about it. if the supposed shooter really wanted to kill him wouldn’t you shoot him in the chest or the head. HE WAS SHOT IN THE FUCKING EAR. really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what are the odds. i think the whole thing was a hoax. think about it. nobody tries to shoot him before his trial. nobody shoots him during his trial. but after his trial and the fact him may go to prison than this just happenes? come on. talk about a pr stunt. kudos whoever thought this one up.
You did not give the reasons for the Presidental assasins 🙁
no president should go thru this and those people should never be released from prison
Still not sure it was real sorry but to many questions about what happened both before , during and after, including if dDT had not moved possibly no one would have gotten hurt , since the shooter was a registered Republican and died right away finding out mire is highly improbable and doubt Trhump cares since has done nothing but use it as a selling point for his MAGA
The asassination of President John F. Kennedy was a shocker in many ways but so shocking on the other hand.
