Days after announcing on social media that he planned to open a music store in Williamsburg, Virginia, John Hinckley Jr. told News4 that his plan had changed.
Hinckley — who shot President Ronald Reagan in a 1981 assassination attempt outside the Washington Hilton — spent nearly 30 years in psychiatric care before his release. He has lived in the Williamsburg area since then.
Hinckley announced his business plans on social media Monday, writing on X, "I’ll be opening a music store in Williamsburg, Va. The address is 455 Merrimack [sic] Trail. Grand opening is in a week or two!"
The post garnered dozens of responses, mostly supportive of the business and Hinckley's attempt at a fresh start.
Hinckley did not share any further details on the store, an exact opening date or a suite number within the shopping center at that location. When News4 reached out to him via email for comment and more information, he said he had dropped his plan

Will Jodie Foster stop by?
He should be allowed to stock only Yoko Ino recordings.
He should be dropped from a plane into the Amazon rain forest naked and no tools.
If he can get back to the States alive, he can have his store.
...that would be Ono if my thumbs weren’t so fat.....
Is “Don’t fear the Reaper” playing inside the store?
The only music he should be hearing is Berlioz March to the Scaffold.
I guess he just learned that music stores went out of business and it’s all downloads.
I miss Peaches.
the Hinckley family were friends with the Bush family ...
Whenever leftists try to convince you that the death penalty should be abolished in favor of life in prison, think of Hinkley.
He’s been in prison for years and now he has enough money to open a store?!
Looks like 4 Washington is a bit schizo. The dude has had 40 years to lay out his plans and consider negative publicity.
Just like JFK, do you remember where you were when this happened? I was at the Senior Center.
He’s working on his 1981 bucket list.

His parents were well to do, so I suspect there was a sizable inheritance involved. The dad passed away over a decade ago and the mom just passed away a few years ago. Hinkley is about 70 now..

I wouldn’t be surprised if he got a federal small-business loan. That’s just how crazy our government is.
So, the word “dropped” used in this article means he said to hell with the idea instead of using “dropped” to say he released the news to the “media and “public.” I’ll never get used to this SNOWFLAKE gibberish.
