An attempted assassination was made on President Franklin Roosevelt in Miami, Florida, on the evening of Feb. 15, 1933.
Italian immigrant Giuseppe Zangara approached and fired five shots intended for the president.
Zangara missed his target and hit mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago and four bystanders instead.
The mayor died of his wounds 19 days later.
Zangara used a five-shot .32 caliber United States Revolver Company pistol.
My grandfather, grandmother, and my Mom & Dad were in attendance as Roosevelt just had given a short speech. Two of bystanders were near my folks.
