WASHINGTON — John Hinckley, who shot President Reagan outside a Washington hotel in 1981, will be getting more visits to his mother’s house in Virginia, the Associated Press reported.

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman on Wednesday approved an unspecified number of extra visits for Hinckley, who is housed at St. Elizabeths Hospital, a psychiatric institution in a tough part of Southeast Washington.

AP reported that the hospital will file a plan by June for additional releases. U.S. Attorney spokesman Bill Miller told AP that the judge will detail the visits in a future court order.
