In May 1970, students protesting invasion of Cambodia by United States military forces, clashed with Ohio National Guardsmen on Kent State University Campus. When the guardsmen shot they killed four students on May 4th.

On May 3rd, approximately one thousand National Guard soldiers were on the Kent State campus. Tensions remained high, and Governor Rhodes further escalated them by accusing the protesters of being un-American.

Eventually seventy-seven guardsmen advanced on the protestors with armed rifles and bayonets. Protestors continued to throw things at the soldiers.

On May 4th, classed resumed at Kent State. Anti-War protestors scheduled on rally for noon at the campus. As the protesters began, Nation Guard members fired tear gas at the demonstrators.
