Two unrelated assassination attempts were made on President Ford in California, both by women. The first was on 5 September 1975 in Sacramento by Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme of Charles Manson infamy and the second in San Francisco 17 days later by Sara Jane Moore. Fromme's attempt failed because she had failed to lock and load her .45 automatic and therefore pulled the trigger on an empty chamber. Moore had her aim deflected by a bystander and failed to get off a second round.
