Try this:
11:45 a.m.
As the class break occurs at Kent State, many more students pour on to the Commons.
General Canterbury of the National Guard notices the increasing number of students and
assumes that all are gathering to participate in the scheduled rally. He orders the group to
disperse immediately. The message is communicated via a mechanical speaker, and is not
heard by many members of the crowd. Those who do hear the message express anger. Prior
to this announcement, there has been no violence. Rocks and obscenities are now directed at
the Guard.

You don't really believe the Guard would have fired on a "peaceful demonstration", do you?
