“The
Kent State shootings (also known as the
May 4 massacre or the
Kent State massacre)
[3][4][5] were the shootings on May 4, 1970 of unarmed college students by members of the
Ohio National Guard at
Kent State University in
Kent, Ohio during
a mass protest against the bombing of Cambodia by United States
military forces. Twenty-eight guardsmen fired approximately 67 rounds
over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine
others, one of whom suffered permanent
paralysis.
[6][7]”
“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 4 million students,
[10] and the event further affected public opinion, at an already socially contentious time, over the
role of the United States in the Vietnam War.
