How four people were killed in Kent State University Ohio?
There had been many people and students protesting the war all that week, they went so far as to burn the soldier education building on campus. Since the protest had gotten so out of hand, the national guard was called. Then on May 4th, by the Kent State victory bell, the protest went on, the national guard had surrounded the protest and were throwing tear gas into the crowd. The crowd soon was filling the tear gas cans with cement and throwing them back at the guard, the guard somehow had a miscommunication (as they put it) and fired. The shots hit 13 students, wounding 9, and killing 4.

Why did the Ohio army national guardsmen shoot students at kent university?
On the Kent State campus in Ohio on May 4, 1970, the National Guard troops, attempting to deal with a crowd of student protesters, fired their weapons at the demonstrators. Unfortunately, their shots carried hundreds of feet, killing or wounding innocent students as well as protesters. Four students were killed and nine injured (one paralyzed). The blame for the shootings was initially on agitators on the campus, but this was exacerbated by poor crowd control training for the part-time National Guard soldiers. Evidence indicated that the involvement of student activists and informants led to the violence, but no proof of snipers or other initiating factors was ever presented.
