what happened to rfk

Robert F. Kennedy, also known as RFK, was assassinated on June 5, 1968. After winning the California Democratic presidential primary, he was shot multiple times by Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian Christian with strong anti-Zionist beliefs, at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Kennedy died nearly 25 hours later on June 6, 1968, at Good Samaritan Hospital. Sirhan Sirhan was apprehended at the scene, later convicted of the murder, and sentenced to death, which was commuted to life imprisonment when California abolished capital punishment. His parole has been denied multiple times. Kennedy’s assassination is significant in American history and prompted the U.S. Secret Service to extend security to presidential candidates. There are conspiracy theories about a second gunman, but evidence remains inconclusive.
