The National Guard used rifles, gas masks, and fixed bayonets at Kent State in May, 1970. The college students were unarmed. Four were killed and nine wounded, with one of the wounded suffering permanent paralysis.
That was the time of what became known as the Kent State Massacre, in which 4 students were shot and killed by the national guard, during a student anti-war protest.
The song is called "Ohio." The students were killed at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio on May 4, 1970.
