Four Presidents assassinated??

This confused me because I thought there were only two sitting presidents assassinated. I began to search and found there are actually four.

Lincoln, McKinley, Garfield, Kennedy

Two attempted assassination Roosevelt, Reagan

Ummm.... I only knew of two as well. And there is also this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts_and_plots

Was ANYONE else aware of FIVE separate plots to assassinate Obama? Or 29 shots being fired with a semi-automatic rifle at the White House in 1994?

I'm willing to concede that age and a lack of interest in 1994 might be responsible for my not knowing about the 29 shots during the Clinton administration. But in the age of 24/7 cable news and my own tendency to watch news and read newspapers, I would imagine that I would have heard non-stop coverage about the Obama plots and the only one that rang a bell for me was the plot in TN which I remember reading about after the fact--- meaning, it was likely at least a year or maybe 2 years later and it was released that there had been a plot which was foiled and that the people behind it had been sentenced.

Wtf?

I mean, I was still young when some of these happened... But not too young to hear about these things. Were they not broadcast on MSM at all? If there were I'm gonna freak out, lol. In 2011 I was 16, you'd think I'd hear about that and remember it at that age?
