On the Kent State campus in Ohio on May 4, 1970, the National Guard troops, attempting to deal with a crowd of student protesters, fired their weapons at the demonstrators. Unfortunately, their shots carried hundreds of feet, killing or wounding innocent students as well as protesters. Four students were killed and nine injured (one paralyzed).

The blame for the shootings was initially on agitators on the campus, but this was exacerbated by poor crowd control training for the part-time National Guard soldiers. Evidence indicated that the involvement of student activists and informants led to the violence, but no proof of snipers or other initiating factors was ever presented.

What college did sam witwicky go to in transformers?

the scenes were shot at princeton. And also at the University of Pennsylvania. "The college scenes were shot at the University of Pennsylvania and Princeton University. Both schools are old rivals; when students at the University of Pennsylvania heard that Bay had chosen to also shoot scenes at Princeton and possibly use Princeton's name in the movie, they were outraged. Fortunately, the issue was resolved peacefully. Neither the University of Pennsylvania nor the Princeton University are named in the film, because both schools' bodies felt that the Judy Witwicky scenes were damaging to their image."
