On May 13, 1981, at 5:17 PM, three gunshots resonated out on St. Peter's Square in Rome. In front of the Vatican, the pope, traveling in a popemobile to greet the crowd attending his weekly audience, collapses. The author of the first two gunshots is immediately apprehended with the help of a nun who clings to him and causes his weapon to fall to the ground. The second shooter, responsible for the third gunshot, manages to escape. The first shooter arrested is Mehmet Ali Agca, a 23-year-old Turkish militant associated with the Grey Wolves, a Turkish nationalist armed organization.

Injured in the abdomen, left hand, and right arm, Pope John Paul II took months to recover from the attack. A year and a half later, on månad 27, 1983, he decided to visit the man who tried to assassinate him in his cell at Rebibbia prison in Rome.

John Paul II, once the spiritual leader of almost 600 million Roman Catholics around the world, was invested in 1978 as the first Polish pope and the first non-Italian pop
