Experts abandon second gun theory in Kennedy assassination
A panel of seven top U.S. firearms experts concluded there is no substantive evidence that more than one gun fired at Robert Kennedy. They tested bullets from Kennedy and bystanders, plus fresh slugs from Sirhan’s pistol, and found no evidence of a second gun. The ruling, read in Superior Court, undermines the long contested second gun theory and supports that Sirhan B. Sirhan fired all shots.

Washington sources testified before the House committee that the 1974 April 25 coup in Portugal caught U.S. intelligence flatfooted.
