A Secret Service agent and
a policeman also were
wounded in the midafternoon
incident outside a
Washington hotel where
Reagan had just addressed a
union convention. They were
reported in serious condition
but apparently not in
danger.
The prosecutor, Charles
Ruff, quoted Hinckley's
parents as describing him as
"wandering, aimless and

Harold Covington, a leader
of the neo-Nazi National
Socialist Party of America,
said early Tuesday that
Hinckley was a member of
the party, but never active.
He said Hinckley quit the
party in 1979.
Roger Young of the FBI
described the weapon seized
from Hinckley as a
"Saturday night Special'-'
and said it was purchased at
a Dallas gun shop.
After his arrest, Hinckley
was taken to police
headquarters, then to the
local FBI field office where
he was questioned by agents.
At his court session, Hinckley
did not have to enter a
