The Washington Hilton in Washington, from where US President Donald Trump was rushed out after shots were fired at White House Correspondents' Dinner, is the same hotel outside which ex-US President Ronald Reagan was shot on March 30, 1981. John Hinckley Jr fired six shots at Reagan, with one bullet striking him in the chest. Reagan had survived the attack.
