The man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan will be released from Washington D.C-based St. Elizabeths Hospital as early as next week after 35 years, according to The Hill.
A federal judge ruled that John Hinckley, 61, could be released into the care of his mother in Virginia. Mr. Hinckley will not be allowed to contact his victims, their relatives or travel to areas where current members of Congress or the president are present, according to the ruling.
The judge also ruled that Mr. Hinckley may live on his own or in a group home after a year.
According to the report, the judge presiding over the case said Mr. Hinckley's depression and psychotic disorder are in full remission and have been for more than 20 years.
In an attempt to impress actress Jodie Foster, with whom he was obsessed with, Mr. Hinckley shot President Reagan outside of a hotel in 1981. A police officer, a secret service agent and President Reagan's press secretary were also injured in the shooting.
A court found Mr. Hinckley not guilty by reason of insanity.
