Abstract On a beautiful spring day in 1970, the Vietnam War came to Ohio. In less than 15 seconds, rifles fired by 28 Ohio National Guardsmen killed four college students and injured nine others. The shootings at Kent State University on May 4, 1970, were sparked by protests against the Vietnam War. And like the war itself, the shootings remain a sources of bitter arguments and strong emotions.
