Over the course of 17 days in 1975, two assassination attempts were made on President Gerald Ford’s life.  The first attempt was by a member of Charles Manson’s cult.  The second happened outside of the Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco, California on September 22, 1975.  The gun woman was Sara Jane Moore, her shot missed.

These photos were taken in the moments immediately after the gun was fired.  They show President Ford wincing upon hearing the gunshot, an image of the hotel taken at almost the same moment the gun when off, and Secret Service Agents 3 seconds later.
