Was reading about how the incident that may have sparked the Guardsmen shooting was a photographer working for the FBI and police who was taking pictures of the protestor, he had carried a .38 pistol and had been in an altercation and the story is he had fired 4 rounds from his revolver, to warn off protestors who were chasing him. There was a report that filed indicating the chamber had been opened and 4 rounds gone, a report denied by the law enforcement officer who had taken the gun from the photographer.

Not minutes later the Guardsmen opened fire.

No weapons of any kind were found on the Kent State dead or wounded. Protesting a war they found evil...they found themselves shot dead by men in the same uniform as the men fighting in Vietnam....tragic.
