There’s no accounting for “Luck’’ — as in “Lucky Shot” either. Oswald might have just gotten off a one-in-a-thousand shot. It’s hard to accept, I know.
The same could be said of the bullet that nearly killed Ronald Reagan (although I wish I could think of a better term than "Lucky Shot.") John Hinckley did not hit Reagan directly. The bullet that struck the President ricocheted off the side of the presidential limousine, and went through the opening between the side of the car and the edge of the linousine's open door. If the bullet had been a fraction of an inch to either side, it would not have cleared the opening and struck Reagan.
