May 13th 1981 - "The Pope has been shot four times as he blessed the crowds in St Peter's Square in Rome.
Surgeons have performed a five-hour operation and say they hope he will make a full recovery.
At about 1715 local time, the Pope was being driven in his Popemobile through a crowd of about 20,000 worshippers when he was hit by four bullets fired from a 9mm pistol some 15 feet away." #pope #john #paul #second #archive
