A New York venue has canceled a sold-out concert by would-be presidential assassin John Hinckley Jr. after deciding hosting the event was too risky.
In a statement posted to social media on Wednesday, the Market Hotel, a concert hall in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, cited “the safety of our vulnerable communities” for its decision to disinvite the man who shot President Reagan in March 1981 from performing on July 8.
