Sara Jane Moore, who attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford in 1975, has died at age 95. Moore fired a handgun at Ford outside a San Francisco hotel but missed; she was subdued before a second shot. Her assassination attempt occurred shortly after another plot targeting Ford. Moore, motivated by a desire for revolution, served 32 years in prison before parole. Her death comes amidst renewed focus on presidential security following recent threats to President Trump.
