Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Sara Jane Moore, who attempted to assassinate President Gerald Ford in 1975, has died. She was 95.
Moore died at a nursing home in Franklin, Tenn., on Wednesday, two days after the 50th anniversary of her attempt to kill the president on Sept. 22, 1975. Demetria Kalodimos, a reporter for the Nashville Banner who developed a friendship with Moore, confirmed her death.
Kalodimos said Moore had been bedridden for 15 months after a fall, the Los Angeles Times reported.
