“Sirhan fired two shots at my father. He was 5ft away. There was absolute mayhem in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel. My father just won the primary.
He said, from the stage, ‘And now it’s onto Chicago,’ which is where the convention was. Then he walks off the stage, and he went into a route that was not expected.”
Kennedy continued. “He [my father] was led into a route through the kitchen, which he was not supposed to go to, and waiting in the kitchen in an ambush was Siran Siran standing in front of a steam table. And as my father approached the steam table, Sirhan fired at him two shots.
One of those hit Paul Schrade. The other one went past my father’s ear and hit a door jam behind my father, a wooden door jam from which it was later removed by the LAPD. Sirhan was then grabbed by six men in a dog pile, and he was backed onto the steam table.”
