FBI informant jailed for life after trying to shoot the president

Her attempted murder took place 17 days after another woman, Squeaky Fromme, also tried to shoot Ford in California.

“Am I sorry I tried? Yes and no. Yes, because it accomplished little except to throw away the rest of my life. And, no, I’m not sorry I tried, because at the time it seemed a correct expression of my anger,” Moore told the court at her sentencing.

She had been evaluated by the Secret Service before the shooting, but was deemed to not pose a threat.
