Jackson & Gandhi assassinations

Sharing

On January 30, 1835, Richard Lawrence attempted to shoot President Andrew Jackson, but failed, subdued by a crowd, including several congressmen. That was the first attempt on the life of a sitting U.S. president.

Sadly, January 30, 1948, was the date upon which Indian pacificist leader Mohandes K. Gandhi was shot and killed.
