WI Ethel Kennedy dies instead of Robert in LA?

PoD: When Sirhan Sirhan attempts to shoot Robert, something goes wrong and he shoots Ethel Kennedy in the head instead, while RFK is only wounded.

She and her unborn child (who was born six months later as Rory Kennedy) are both very, very dead. Minutes later, several men have to pull Rosey Grier (who was guarding Ethel) off of Sirhan Sirhan, as Rosey was literally beating him to death (Grier did help subdue Sirhan IOTL; seeing him shoot Ethel Kennedy in the head would probably push him beyond his rage-breaking point).

Effects, anyone?

RFK probably gets a massive sympathy boost, but is likely to drop out of the race from grief. He remains in the senate and is the frontrunner for 1972 or 1976.
