US President Gerald Ford's would-be assassin dies at age 95

Former U.S. President Gerald Ford's would-be assassin, Sara Jane Moore, has passed away at the age of 95. In 1975, during Ford's visit to San Francisco, Moore attempted to assassinate the Republican president by firing two shots at him. Although the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, it highlighted the security concerns and risks faced by political leaders. Moore's actions were widely condemned, and she was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. She served 32 years before being released on parole in 2007. The news of her death at the age of 95 serves as a somber reminder of the challenges and dangers that come with holding high-profile political positions, and the lasting impact such events can have on both individuals and the nation as a whole.
