America has lost four presidents to assassinations; four have escaped attempted hits, not counting plots foiled or never executed.
The first assassination merged elements of Greek tragedy and Christian martyrology.
Few Americans are so history impaired as not to know the crime scene, the name of the assassin, and the forensic details of the two most famous presidential assassinations.
James Garfield , William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt were both shot while in harness.
Garfield was shot in the back by Charles Guiteau , a religious and political fanatic, a pettifogging lawyer, and a tramp of the higher order.
McKinley was shot on 6 September 1901 , while visiting the Temple of Music at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo , New York .
President Gerald Ford survived two back-to-back attempts on his life in 1975 .
Ronald Reagan survived six shots fired at him in 1981 .
The next discharge of gunfire at a president was nearly fatal.
Four deaths, two critical injuries, and two —make that three now—hairbreadth escapes. Not the best odds in a field of 46 presidents, so when one bullet, we’ve all been lucky.
