May 4 1970
 

 
Wow, amazing, fantastic. The video was made from a film by by KSU student Chris Abell from Tri-Towers dormitory 1/2 mile from Taylor Hall where the massacre occurred. Nice job. Finally someone (thanks Steve!) matched the audio made by KSU student Terry Strubbe (the only audio of the order to kill & the gunfire) with that video which is the only video of the shooting & was made by a home-movie camera.
 
See the mass of protesting students turn and run away during 13 long seconds of gunfire. Understand why 11 of 13 student-victims were shot in the back or side while fleeing the 67 gunshots.
