Amerikanske soldater dræber studenter i USA
Om middagen er der 2000 demonstranter på Kent State
University. De lokale indbyggere har ikke fået af vide, at
mødet er blevet forbudt. Til trods for kraftig vind affyres
tåregas, som ikke har den store virkning. Demonstranter
jagtes efterfølgende af soldater med påsatte
bajonetter på geværerne ind på et
nærliggende atlatikstation. Nogle soldater vender sig om mod
resten af demonstranterne. 28 soldater affyrer mellem 61 og 67 skud
i 13 sekunder mod demonstranter. Fire dræbes og ni
såres. Alle 13 studerede ved Kent State University. De fire
dræbte studenter er Jeffrey Miller, Allison Krause, William
Schroeder og Sandra Scheuer. Efterfølgende lukkes
universitetet sommeren over.
Litteratur: Chestnut Burr, 1971.
