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.

New analysis of 40-year-old recording of Kent State shootings reveals that Ohio Guard was given an order to prepare to fire

Owen and Allen 1.jpgForensic audio experts Stuart Allen, seated, and Tom Owen, discuss the contents of a tape that captured the events leading to the May 4, 1970 Ohio National Guard shootings at Kent State University. The Ohio National Guardsmen who fired on students and antiwar protesters at Kent State University on May 4, 1970 were given an order to prepare to shoot, according to a new analysis of a 40-year-old audio tape of the event.

"Guard!" says a male voice on the recording, which two forensic audio experts enhanced and evaluated at the request of The Plain Dealer. Several seconds pass. Then, "All right, prepare to fire!"

"Get down!" someone shouts urgently, presumably in the crowd. Finally, "Guard! . . . " followed two seconds later by a long, booming volley of gunshots. The entire spoken sequence lasts 17 seconds.

Kent State  University shootings May 4, 1970View full sizeMary Ann Vecchio cries for help as she kneels by the body of Kent State student Jeffrey Miller, who was shot by National Guardsmen on May 4, 1970. The gunfire volley from the Guard killed four and wounded nine. The previously undetected command could begin to explain the central mystery of the Kent State tragedy - why 28 Guardsmen pivoted in unison atop Blanket Hill, raised their rifles and pistols and fired 67 times, killing four students and wounding nine others in an act that galvanized sentiment against the Vietnam War.

The order indicates that the gunshots were not spontaneous, or in response to sniper fire, as some have suggested over the years.

The Kent May Center also is dedicated to raising educational awareness of the longstanding history of American Student Activism. We also encourage American students to be aware of this student activism history so modern students may join and build a new American Student Movement to promote positive social change.
