Effects of the Kent State shootings?
The shooting at Kent State on May 4, 1970 occurred as armed National Guard troops fired on a crowd of student anti-war demonstrators. Four students were killed and nine were wounded. There had been violent confrontations between the Guard and the students, and the Guard was attempting to disperse the demonstrators. When a small group of soldiers faced a much larger crowd of students, they fired into the crowd. Although the federal proceedings against guardsmen and authorities were concluded in 1974, an audio tape analyzed in 2010 provided additional information, and could potentially result in further proceedings on a state level. However, double jeopardy and the passage of 40 years make this unlikely.
