May 4, 1970 —  from the Kent State University Catalog

Shortly after noon on May 4, 1970, on a grassy knoll beyond Taylor Hall and the Prentice Hall parking lot, a contingent of Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire for a period of thirteen seconds, striking thirteen Kent State University students, some of whom were nearby, others of whom were distant. Four students were killed, one was permanently paralyzed, and the others were wounded in varying degrees of severity.
