The closest student was Jeffrey Miller, who was shot in the mouth while standing in an access road leading into the Prentice Hall parking lot, a distance of approximately 270 feet from the Guard. Allison Krause was in the Prentice Hall parking lot; she was 330 feet from the Guardsmen and was shot in the left side of her body. William Schroeder was 390 feet from the Guard in the Prentice Hall parking lot when he was shot in the left side of his back. Sandra Scheuer was also about 390 feet from the Guard in the Prentice Hall parking lot when a bullet pierced the left front side of her neck.Nine Kent State students were wounded in the 13 second fusillade. Most of the students were in the Prentice Hall parking lot, but a few were on the Blanket Hill area. Joseph Lewis was the student closest to the Guard at a distance of about sixty feet; he was standing still with his middle finger extended when bullets struck him in the right abdomen and left lower leg. Thomas Grace was also approximately 60 feet from the Guardsmen and was wounded in the left ankle. John Cleary was over 100 feet from the Guardsmen when he was hit in the upper left chest. Alan Canfora was 225 feet from the Guard and was struck in the right wrist. Dean Kahler was the most seriously wounded of the nine students. He was struck in the small of his back from approximately 300 feet and was permanently paralyzed from the waist down. Douglas Wrentmore was wounded in the right knee from a distance of 330 feet.

Kemo Sabee your political leanings are showing. Never the less you got it dead wrong. Nixon had tons to do with why it all happened. 4 days earlier he went on TV to announce that he had given orders to step up the war by invading Cambodia. 18-21 year old kids FREAKED THE EF OUT!!!!! and protested. Nixon despised the protesters, called them communists, the worst ppl in the country and tons more disparaging things. The politician that called out the National Guard came in there the day before and made a speech that mirrored what Nixon said about the protesters. As far as using real bullets and shooting the students that was just dumb and proven so in all studies after the fact. As far as Four Soldiers AND Nixon coming? Hell Ya. They had just stepped up the draft months earlier, to WWII level, no more deferment. So these kids felt Nixon WAS coming for THEM! Neil got it DEAD right. Keep Faux news out of it, and quit watching that propaganda Rupert freakin Murdock warped version of the world crap.
