Sara Jane Moore, the radical who attempted to assassinate President Gerald R. Ford in San Francisco in 1975, died Wednesday at a nursing home in Franklin, Tennessee. She was 95.
Her death was confirmed by Demetria Kalodimos, a reporter for the Nashville Banner who had befriended Moore. The Banner first reported her passing, according to The New York Times.
Moore, a mother of four who once worked as an FBI informant, fired two shots at Ford on Sept. 22, 1975, as he left the St. Francis Hotel. The attack came just 17 days after another woman, Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a follower of Charles Manson, had also tried to assassinate the president in Sacramento.
