Giuseppe Zangara was an Italian immigrant and naturalized United States citizen who attempted to assassinate the President-elect of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, on February 15, 1933, 17 days before Roosevelt's inauguration.
He missed Roosevelt but hit Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, who was standing on the running board of the car next to Roosevelt.
Cermak died of peritonitis 19 days later, on March 6, 1933, two days after Roosevelt's inauguration.
After spending only 10 days on death row, Zangara, who refused to appeal his sentence, was executed on March 20, 1933.
34 days after the attempt he was executed.
34 days!
