John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on November 22, 1963.

Robert Francis Kennedy, John's son and a senator from New York, was assassinated on June 5, 1968, in Los Angeles, California, by Sirhan Sirhan while campaigning for president. The assassination occurred at the Ambassador Hotel, where Kennedy had just won the California Democratic primary.

Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant, was accused of shooting and killing Robert F. Kennedy. He was subsequently arrested, charged, and convicted of the crime, and is currently serving a life sentence in prison.

The investigation into John F. Kennedy's assassination was led by the Warren Commission, with assistance from the FBI. The commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination.

Robert Kennedy's campaign focused on issues such as poverty and civil rights. He was known for his charisma and ability to connect with people from all walks of life. His death was a shock to the nation and marked a turning point in American politics.

The investigation into Robert Kennedy's assassination was led by the Los Angeles Police Department, with assistance from the FBI. The case against Sirhan Sirhan was largely based on eyewitness testimony and physical evidence, including a bullet found in Kennedy's head.

Sirhan had previously practiced shooting with the same gun used in the assassination at a pistol range in the San Gabriel Valley. Witnesses reported that Sirhan waited for half an hour before the crime and then shot Kennedy multiple times as he exited the hotel kitchen.
