I think Teddy Roosevelt was shot and survived as well.
“I think Teddy Roosevelt was shot and survived as well.”
He wasn’t president at the time.
Of course Ford was shot at, TWICE.
The trivia making fact though, is that Reagan was the only sitting President who survived being shot.
I guess Teddy is the only ex-president ever shot.
Andrew Jackson also survived an assassination attempt.
Before a campaign speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Theodore Roosevelt, the presidential candidate for the Progressive Party, is shot at close range by saloonkeeper John Schrank while greeting the public in front of the Gilpatrick Hotel. Schrank’s .32-caliber bullet, aimed directly at Roosevelt’s heart, failed to mortally wound the former president because its force was slowed by a glasses case and a bundle of manuscript in the breast pocket of Roosevelt’s heavy coat—a manuscript containing Roosevelt’s evening speech. Schrank was immediately detained and reportedly offered as his motive that “any man looking for a third term ought to be shot.”
