Summary  
The documents detail accounts of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, including witness statements, ambulance transport records, and law enforcement involvement. Ambulance driver Donald C. Ruy provided descriptions of the incident, while event attendee James W. Lowe recounted observations of the aftermath. The FBI and LAPD documented statements from witnesses, including those related to Kennedy’s transportation to Central Receiving Hospital and treatment in Treatment Room #2. A separate account by Yoshio Miwa, a kitchen worker at the hotel, describes hearing gunshots around midnight and witnessing an altercation involving an individual with a firearm. Miwa noted the suspect as approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall, with dark complexion, small eyes, and a blue jacket. The text references FBI agents Guell B. Chresnel and Charles J.
