The Kent State shootings took place at Kent State University in Ohio during a protest against the U.S. military’s expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. On May 4, 1970, 28 National Guard soldiers fired approximately 67 rounds over 13 seconds, killing four students—Allison Krause, Jeffrey Miller, Sandra Lee Scheuer, and William Schroeder—and wounding nine others, one of whom was permanently paralyzed. Krause and Miller were actively participating in the protest, while Scheuer and Schroeder were bystanders observing from a distance.
