Kent State survivors seek new probe of 1970 shootings
KENT, Ohio (Reuters) - Survivors of the shooting of 13
students by the Ohio National Guard during an anti-war demonstration at
Kent State University in 1970 called on Thursday for a new probe into
the incident that came to define U.S. divisions over the Vietnam War.
Four students were killed and nine wounded in the shootings on May
4, 1970 that followed days of demonstrations on the campus after
disclosures of a U.S.-led invasion of Cambodia that signaled a widening
of the war in Southeast Asia.
