Wikipedia - The Kent State shootings - also known as the May 4 massacre or
Kent State massacre occurred at Kent State University in the city of Kent,
Ohio, and involved the shooting of unarmed college students by members of
the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. The guardsmen fired 67
rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine
others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.
Some of the students who were shot had been protesting against the American
invasion of Cambodia, which President Richard Nixon announced in a
television address on April 30. Other students who were shot had been
walking nearby or observing the protest from a distance.
There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of
universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States
due to a student strike of four million students, and the event further
affected the public opinion - at an already socially contentious time - over
the role of the United States in the Vietnam War.
