Kent State Shootings: Tragedy and Outrage - On this day, 04 May 1970

On this day in 1970, an anti-Vietnam War demonstration at Kent State University turned deadly when the Ohio National Guard shot four unarmed students and wounded nine others. The incident has sparked outrage across the nation and has further turned public opinion against the war. Eyewitnesses report that the students were peacefully protesting against President Nixon's announcement that he would be sending troops into Cambodia when the Ohio National Guard arrived on the scene. The guard then began firing into the crowd of students, hitting several of them. "It was chaos. We were all running for our lives," said one student who was present at the protest. "I never thought something like this could happen on an American college campus." The four students who were killed were identified as Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Scheuer, and William Schroeder. The incident has prompted widespread calls for an investigation into the use of excessive force by the National Guard. "This is a tragedy of immense proportions," said Ohio Governor James Rhodes. "We will conduct a full investigation into what happened and hold those responsible accountable for their actions." The students' deaths have further inflamed anti-war sentiment across the nation, with many calling for an immediate end to the conflict in Vietnam. The Kent State shootings have become a defining moment in American history, and their legacy lives on to this day.
