Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1968 and there is evidence that more than one shooter may have been involved. Bullet holes were found in walls but Sirhan Sirhan was farther away and in front of Kennedy when he shot, while Kennedy's head wound came from close range behind. Photographs of the assassination were confiscated by police and never returned. A security guard with anti-Kennedy views was in a position to inflict a close-range wound but was not thoroughly questioned. Many photographs were also destroyed, raising questions about why Kennedy was killed, possibly due to his opposition to the Vietnam War.
