Sara Jane Moore, the woman who infamously attempted to assassinate U.S. President Gerald Ford in 1975, has passed away at the age of 95, according to U.S. media reports. Moore, who was sentenced to life in prison but later released on parole, died amidst renewed scrutiny of presidential security following recent assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump. On September 25, 1975, Moore fired a .38-caliber revolver at Ford outside a San Francisco hotel but missed her target. A former U.S. Marine in the crowd subdued her, preventing a second shot. Moore had been arrested the previous day for carrying a gun near Ford, which was confiscated, prompting her to purchase another weapon. She pleaded guilty and served 32 years before her parole. Her attack occurred just 17 days after Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme, a follower of cult leader Charles Manson, also attempted to assassinate Ford. In a 2009 interview, Moore claimed her actions were driven by a belief that a violent revolution was necessary to change the U.S., citing the social upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s. Investigators found no ties to revolutionary groups and deemed her legally sane. Moore’s death coincides with the recent conviction of Ryan Routh, who attempted to assassinate Trump in 2022, highlighting ongoing concerns about presidential safety.
