5/4/1970 was an even sadder day in Ohio
The Kent State massacre


On May 4, 1970 at Kent State University in the city of Kent, Ohio during a peaceful protest against the American invasion of Cambodia, which President Richard Nixon had announced in a television address on April 30, the Ohio National Guard opened fire into a busy college campus during a school day. A total of 67 shots were fired in 13 seconds.

Four students: Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, William Schroeder, and Sandra Scheuer were killed. and nine students were wounded.

Other students who were shot had been walking nearby or observing the protest from a distance.
