About Giuseppe Zangara
Giuseppe Zangara was an Italian-born American who attempted to assassinate the President-elect of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, on February 15, 1933, 17 days before Roosevelt's inauguration. During a night speech by Roosevelt in Miami, Florida, Zangara fired five shots with a handgun he had purchased a couple of days before. He missed his target and instead killed Anton Cermak, the Mayor of Chicago, and injured four bystanders. Zangara was promptly indicted for first-degree murder in Cermak's death. Except for his entry and discharge dates, no records remained of Zangara's military service, though he reportedly served in the Tyrolean Alps during World War I. On September 3, 1929, Zangara became a naturalized US citizen after his citizenship application, filed the day of his arrival, was approved.
