6 Photos Taken Moments Before Everything Went Horribly Wrong

Robert F. Kennedy – The Kitchen That Became A Crime Scene

Bill Eppridge and Harry Benson captured Robert F. Kennedy walking through the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968. He had just won the California Democratic primary. He was smiling, shaking hands, surrounded by supporters. Seconds later, Sirhan Sirhan stepped out of the crowd and fired three shots. Kennedy died the next day. The photo shows a man at the peak of his political career—unaware that he had less than a minute to live.
