Pope John Paul II is shot and wounded at St. Peter’s Square in Rome, Italy. Turkish terrorist Mehmet Ali Agca, an escaped fugitive already convicted of a previous murder, fired several shots at the religious leader, two of which wounded nearby tourists. Agca was immediately captured.

Thanks olebeech.

Probably watched the movie with Gary Cooper a dozen times. The book is excellent also. Read it last year. Lou Gehrig was a fine human being and a great role model who kids could look up to.
