(Monday, September 22, 1975, 3:25 p.m. PDT) — Sara Jane Moore, 45, fired a single shot from a .38 caliber revolver at U.S. President Gerald R. Ford today outside the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, but a civilian bystander deflected the gun just as it went off and Ford was not hit.

Moore’s assassination attempt took place just 17 days after Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme’s attempted assassination of Ford in Sacramento, California.
