John F. Kennedy was shot on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, and assassinated by a bullet wound to the brain that caused extensive damage.

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant from Jordan, was identified as the suspect in the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy on June 5, 1968. Sirhan shot and killed Senator Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

The investigation into the assassination was led by the Los Angeles Police Department, with assistance from federal agencies. Sirhan was tried and convicted of murder, and sentenced to death. However, his sentence was commuted to life in prison when California abolished the death penalty in 1972.

Sirhan's motives for the assassination are unclear, but it is believed that he acted alone. He had previously been involved in anti-Israeli activities and had expressed support for Palestinian nationalism.

John H. Weidner Jr., a subject of investigation, was searched by B.R. on an unknown date, with the file consolidated and reviewed by an unknown person on June 6, 1963.

Samir M. Khalaf, another subject of investigation, was searched by an unknown person on an unknown date, with the file consolidated and reviewed by an unknown person on June 7, 1969.

The assassination of Senator Kennedy had a significant impact on American politics and society, leading to increased scrutiny of presidential candidates and their backgrounds. It also highlighted the growing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, which continue to this day.

Sirhan has been incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, California, since 1969, serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

The case has raised questions about the role of mental health and the impact of trauma on individuals, particularly those who have experienced significant stress or trauma. Sirhan's own mental health has been the subject of much speculation and debate over the years.

Despite the passage of time, the assassination of Senator Kennedy remains a traumatic event in American history, one that continues to have significant implications for politics, society, and individual lives.
