In 1970, 4 students were shot and killed by the National Guard at Kent State University in Ohio, during an anti-war protest. Students had been throwing rocks at the soldiers, who felt that they had to defend themselves. In retrospect, it appeared to have been an error for the governor to have called out the guard in the first place. It remains one of the most tragic events of that period.
It was a riot ostensibly about the US attack on Soviet-North Vietnamese basecamps in Cambodia that had been waging the war against South Vietnam since the 1950s - the Cambodia strike was the ostensible reason but the larger reason was student savagery (at least one building had been burned down) running amok. It ended in the shooting of four students by Guardsmen, who have been assigned the brunt of blame for the tragedy while the rioters have rarely been held accountable for any of the violence involved.
In 1970, four students were killed by the American Natural Guard after rioting got out of hand at Kent State University in Ohio. There were lots of students protests around that time about the Vietnam War and nuclear disarmament.
Beginning in 1968, there were protests against the Vietnam war on lots of college campuses across America. At one such protest in May, 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, the Ohio National Guard fired live ammunition at the students, killing 4 of them.

Racial segregation and inequality provoked the massive protest at Kent State University. This was concerning black students who felt mistreated. They wanted to advance their human rights, and therefore their own causes.
