Weatherday: Would-be assassin is happy

A cold and misty start will give way to a mainly dry day, with cloud and some sunny intervals. Rain unlikely.

Light to moderate north to northwest breezes. Highest temperature 9deg, and slipping back to 5deg after dark.

On this day in 1981, John Hinckley Jr attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan. Discharged from a mental hospital in 2017, today he sells antiques and books, anonymously. He says he is 'happy as a clam'.
