The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968, occurred at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California. Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant, shot and killed Kennedy with a revolver while he was leaving a hotel room. Sirhan had a history of mental health issues and had been treated for depression.

Kennedy died shortly after arrival at a local hospital, and Sirhan was arrested and charged with murder. The assassination sent shockwaves across the nation, as Kennedy was a popular and respected public figure. His death served as a reminder of the need for peace, love, and understanding among all people.

The events surrounding Kennedy's assassination were marked by chaos and confusion. Sirhan was tried and convicted of murder in 1969 and sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life in prison when California abolished the death penalty in 1972. Sirhan has since served out his sentence and been released from prison.

The assassination of Robert F. Kennedy remains one of the most infamous crimes in U.S. history, continuing to be studied by scholars and researchers today as a way of understanding the complexities of human nature and the impact of tragedy on society.

In the aftermath of Kennedy's death, President Johnson approved emergency funding for added Secret Service costs, increasing the service's budget from $19.3 million to $20.0 million. The bill would make $400,000 available immediately for added Secret Service costs.

The assassination led to a significant increase in security measures for presidential candidates and their families. The Secret Service was authorized to provide protection without legal authorization, and agents were dispatched to protect major presidential contenders and their families.

Key figures involved in the aftermath of Kennedy's death included Senator Mike Mansfield, who stated that there would be no opposition to providing federal security to all major presidential candidates and their families. Richard Starnes, a medical examiner, conducted an autopsy on Kennedy's body, and Frank Mankiewicz, Kennedy's press secretary, made statements to the media.

The events surrounding Kennedy's assassination were widely reported in the media, with newspapers such as The Washington Post, The Evening Star (Washington), and The Sunday Star (New York) covering the story.
