Kennedy Shot After California Victory Rally
Senator Kennedy won a crucial California primary and spoke to about 2,000 supporters at the Ambassador Hotel before being shot. A 25-year-old Caucasian assailant opened fire with a .22 pistol, wounding Kennedy and five others. Kennedy underwent brain surgery and remained unconscious in intensive care as police questioned the suspect, who gave few details.
