Title	Kent State University Shooting Interviews
Subject	Ohio Government Education Military Ohio Kent State Shootings, Kent, Ohio, 1970 Universities and colleges Vietnam War National Guard Students Ohio State Highway Patrol
Place	Kent (Ohio) Portage County (Ohio)
Description	These documents show the Ohio Highway Patrol's activities in determining the chain of events that took place May 1-4, 1970, when four Kent State University students were killed after the Ohio National Guard fired on a crowd of protestors. The Highway Patrol's activities included interrogating Ohio National Guardsmen and other witnesses. Typed transcripts of interviews measure 8.5" x 11" (20.32 x 27.94 cm). Seventy-eight of 169 pages are included here. Kent State University in Kent, Ohio was placed in an international spotlight after a tragic end to a student demonstration against the Vietnam War and the National Guard on May 4, 1970. Shortly after noon on that Monday, 13 seconds of rifle fire by a contingent of 28 Ohio National Guardsmen left four students dead, one permanently paralyzed, and eight others wounded. Not every student was a demonstration participant or an observer; some students were walking to and from class. As a result of the shootings, the university was closed for nearly six weeks.
