There have been numerous assassination attempts in US history, but only four were successful. Two presidents were wounded. Three of the incidents took place in Washington, DC. Not all of the shooters were politically motivated.

All of the assassination attempts took place in a 100 year window spanning 1865 to 1963.

Here is the timeline of presidential assassinations visualized.
