Kennedy Shot After California Victory
Senator Robert F. Kennedy was shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles as he thanked supporters after a decisive California victory in the Democratic presidential primary.

The assailant, described as a short swarthy man with a revolver, caused a shocking interruption as Kennedy had urged supporters to march on to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
