Farmboy..This article is to long to post all of it. Kent State shootings: Does former informant hold the key to the May 4 mystery? Published: Sunday, December 19, 2010, 6:01 AM Updated: Sunday, December 19, 2010, 3:59 PM By John Mangels, The Plain Dealer The Plain Dealer cleveland.com KENT, Ohio — In the four decades since Ohio National Guardsmen fired on students and antiwar demonstrators at Kent State University, Terry Norman has remained a central but shadowy figure in the tragedy. The 21-year-old law enforcement major and self-described "gung-ho" informant was the only civilian known to be carrying a gun -- illegally, though with the tacit consent of campus police -- when the volatile protest unfolded on May 4, 1970. Witnesses saw him with his pistol out around the time the Guardsmen fired. Though Norman denied shooting his weapon, and was never charged in connection with the four dead and nine wounded at Kent State, many people suspected he somehow triggered the soldiers' deadly 13-second volley. Kent State student Terry Norman This TV footage from May 4, 1970 shows Kent State student Terry Norman being chased by graduate student Harold Reid, who shouts "Hey, stop that man! I saw him shoot someone! Stop him, he’s carrying a gun!" Norman then surrenders his weapon to Kent State patrolman Harold Rice. Video by Joe Butano and Jorge Gomez Watch video Audio...
