AP Was There: Ohio National Guard killed protesters at Kent State University

On May 4, 1970, The Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed student protesters at Kent State University

The Ohio National Guard opened fire on unarmed college students during a war protest at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. Four students were killed, and nine others were injured. Not all of those hurt or killed were involved in the demonstration, which opposed the U.S. bombing of neutral Cambodia during the Vietnam War.

It is my hope that this tragic and unfortunate incident will strengthen the determination of all the nation’s campuses, administrators, faculty and students alike to stand firmly for the right which exists in this country of peaceful dissent and just as strongly against the resort to violence as a means of such expression.” The campus and the City of Kent were sealed off following the shootings. School officials ordered the faculty, staff and 19,000 students to leave.
