actually it was 4 dead at kent state. and 9 wounded. it could have been a lot worse. civil war in america 1970 "The guardsmen fired off at least 67 shots in roughly 13 seconds. Four students were killed and nine others wounded. To this day, no one has been held accountable" i remember it vividly. we had a mock burial and 4 mock headstones on our campus in 1970. (i still have the photos in my old college photo album) our university "seceded from the union" and barricaded the campus off from the rest of the world. we declared the campus an independent state of the union. surprisingly, no police came in and tried to take the barricades down, and eventually tempers calmed down. ,..., and finally we went back to full time classes in the fall, many months later. the university almost was shut down. we got passing grades despite not even going to classes in up to 2 elective courses of our choice. democracynow.org "on May 4th, a protest was scheduled to be held at noon on the university commons. An estimated three thousand people gathered for the rally. The National Guard ordered the crowd to disperse and began to fire tear gas. Students responded by throwing rocks and chanting “Pigs off campus.” In an attempt to disperse the crowd, a group of seventy National Guard troops advanced on the protesters with fixed bayonets and with their weapons locked and loaded. The guardsmen soon found themselves trapped on an athletic practice field which was fenced on three sides. What happened next left an indelible mark on the history of this country. To tell the story we turn to an excerpt of the documentary “Kent State: The Day the War Came Home.” It includes interview with students and National Guardsmen who were there."
