Kent+State+Shooting+Bailee

May 4th 1970 members of the National Gaurd killed four and wounded nine students from Kent State. This was also known as the May 4th massacre.This tragety also caused many collages to close. It was a very frightning event.

Monday May 4th at Kent State University they were holding a protest at noon. This protest was suppose to be cancelled, But it still was started by a ringing bell. Police tried to warn them to stop the prostest or they would have been arrested. Students started to through rocks at the officers jeep. They has injured one of the gaurds men.

Later on that day they had another guards man go back to try and get the students to stop the protest and they still didn;t listen. Soon enough one of the guardsmen had through tear gas on the student. The students still didn't stop and they through the gas back at the guardsman. Shortly everything was getting very out of hand.

The guardsmen got sick of telling the students to stop protesting and them not listening. Several guardsmen took guns and stood on the land and started to fire the guns. This had killed 4 students and injured 9. The shooting was only 13 seconds long.

This was a very sad and serious tragety and affected many people.
