US EditionSara Jane Moore, President Gerald Ford’s would-be assassin, dies at 95
Moore fired a handgun at President Ford in 1975 to spark revolution, was sentenced to life, served 32 years, and died aged 95 after parole, officials said.
- Wednesday, Sara Jane Moore died at a nursing home in Franklin, Tenn., aged 95, her death confirmed by Demetria Kalodimos, executive producer at The Nashville Banner.
- Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald Ford outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco in 1975, just 17 days after Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme's separate plot.
- Moore purchased a.38‑caliber revolver hours earlier and fired as Ford emerged, but Oliver Sipple, disabled former Marine, deflected her arm; the bullet ricocheted and injured the taxi driver.
- She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life, served 32 years in the U.S. federal prison system, was paroled in 2007, and faced detention in 2019 before release six months later.
- Amid renewed attention to presidential security, Moore's death came two days after the 50th anniversary of her attempt, reflecting her radicalization by 1960s politics and the Patricia Hearst case.
