Bobby L. Rogers, identified as the Bronx gunman who killed three men, told his brother he acted in self defense. The 31-year-old Army veteran surrendered in Graham, North Carolina, and was jailed in Alamance County. New York officials planned to fetch him for custody, with transfer expected Monday or Tuesday. The brother said Rogers claimed three victims opened fire, prompting a defensive reply with a carbine. Henry Rogers said his brother fled after the shootings and worried he would be killed if he returned to New York.

Sirhan To Enter Plea In Fortified Courtroom
Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, the man charged with killing Senator Robert F. Kennedy, will enter his plea next Friday in a secured court setup. He will move from his cell on the Hall of Justice building’s 13th floor to a tank-like armor-plated bullpen serving as a temporary courtroom with a judge’s bench and newsmen seats, though the main trial is still planned for the eighth floor courtroom. Sheriff Peter J. Pitchess cited multiple life-threatening threats as the reason for the heightened security.
