On June 4, 1968 Kennedy scored a major victory in his drive toward the Democratic presidential nomination when he won primaries in South Dakota and in California. After Kennedy addressed his supporters in the early morning hours of June 5 in a ballroom at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, he left the ballroom through a service area to greet supporters working in the hotel's kitchen. In a crowded kitchen passageway, Sirhan B. Sirhan, a 24-year-old Christian Arab living in Pasadena, California fired a .22 caliber revolver directly into the crowd surrounding Kennedy. Six people were wounded, including Kennedy, who was shot in the head at close range.
President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, at 12:30 p.m. CST on Friday, November 22, 1963, while on a political trip through Texas. President Kennedy was fatally wounded in the back and side of the head. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged at 7:00 p.m. for killing a Dallas policeman by "murder with malice", and he was also charged at 11:30 p.m. for the murder of the President (there was no charge for the "assassination" of a President at that time). Oswald was fatally shot less than two days later in a Dallas police station by Jack Ruby. Texas Governor John Conally survived the bullet he received.

Palestinian-American Sirhan Sirhan shot Bobby Kennedy. When he was asked in court why he did it, he launched into a long speech about the conflict between the Jews and the Arabs in the Holy Land, but then said that he didn't hold Kennedy responsible for it and didn't dislike Kennedy at all. So the answer is he (like a lot of murderers) did it because he was crazy.

Considering that Lee Harvey Oswald was shot by Jack Ruby BEFORE Bobby Kennedy was killed, I think it would be pretty hard for them to have the same killer. Bobby Kennedy was shot by Sirhan Sirhan. Read all about it:
