Senator Robert Kennedy Is Assassinated

Historical Events

Just minutes after winning the California presidential primary on June 4, 1968, Robert Kennedy was shot and killed in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Sirhan Sirhan, a Palestinian immigrant, was wrestled to the ground holding a gun after the shot was fired.

Though he maintains his innocence to this day, he was sentenced to death for the murder. His sentence was commuted to life in prison in 1972 after the California State Supreme Court declared the death penalty unconstitutional. Citing a deteriorating mental health, Sirhan has been denied parole twelve times. His next parole review will be in 2006.
