Kent State Massacre May 4, 1970
Lest we forget…..a pivotal point in the US Government’s hitory in the Vietnam War and dealing with civil unrest and student protests. As Neil Young wrote, “What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground…” chilling….RIP:
- Jeffrey Glenn Miller; 20, 265 ft (81 m) shot through the mouth – killed instantly
- Allison B. Krause; 19, 343 ft (105 m) fatal left chest wound – died later that day
- William Knox Schroeder; 19, 382 ft (116 m) fatal chest wound – died almost an hour later in hospital while waiting for surgery
- Sandra Lee Scheuer; 20, 390 ft (120 m) fatal neck wound – died a few minutes later from loss of blood
The guardsmen fired 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.
Google John Filo’s iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of Mary Ann Vecchio, a fourteen-year-old runaway, kneeling over the body of Jeffrey Miller after he was shot dead by the Ohio National Guard…..Google it.
