The Kent State University shooting occurred on May 4, 1970, when members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of student protesters, killing four and wounding nine. The protests were sparked by President Nixon's announcement of the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia, which many students viewed as an escalation of the conflict.
