The man who wounded President Ronald Reagan in 1981 apologised for his actions Tuesday and said he doesn't remember what he was feeling when he fired the shots that also wounded three others.
John Hinckley Jr. Told CBS Mornings in his first televised interview since he was freed from all court oversight this month that he feels sorry for all the lives his actions affected.
"I feel badly for all of them. I have true remorse for what I did," Hinckley said. "I know that they probably can't forgive me now, but I just want them to know that I am sorry for what I did."
Asked about what feelings led him to commit the act, Hinckley said he can't remember those emotions and doesn't want to.
"It's such another lifetime ago. I can't tell you now the emotion I had right as (Reagan) came walking out. I can't tell you that," he said, later adding: "It's something I don't want to remember."
