Del Corso, said the troops began shooting after Kent State students hurled bricks at Statler Hilton Inn Sold to New York along the sidewalk, bared bayonets extending from their M-14 rifles. A student, possibly not really understanding the situation, emerged from the building after a class. A Guardsman jumped forward and struck him in the head with the butt of his rifle. The student fell, was struck twice more, then scrambled back inside the building. The Guard line split and went around each end of the building as students fled before them.

I ran out behind them and saw the last of the line round the corner of the building as I left the door. I waited a minute, maybe two, then stuck my head and most of my body around the corner, hoping to get a picture. A Guardsman some 30 feet away leveled his M-14 at my head and I froze. As I stepped back behind the building, I saw one Guardsman fire his rifle into the air. Suddenly it was like the Fourth of July.

For 30 seconds or more the silence of the warm, sunny day was punctuated by the staccato sound of round after round of ammunition being blasted through See KENT, Page 3.

More young people poured from behind the union, from behind Taylor hall and out of the dorms bordering the area.

The treat was met with loud obscenities and about four stones thrown by the students. GUARDSMEN behind the front line fired tear gas and pepper gas grenades from M-79 grenade launchers. Most students fled up the hill, while others picked up the gas canisters and hurled them back toward the Guard.

The move took the guard by surprise. Most Guardsmen had to put on their gas masks and were suddenly inhaling their own fumes. The contingent pulled masks on and began to fan out, covering most of the north side of the Commons. I went to the top of the hill, then into Taylor Hall. The building was saturated with gas which had been sucked in through the air conditioning vents.

Faculty and staff members were tearing up cloth toweling from restrooms and passing it out to students for wetting in drinking fountains. Through the windows of Taylor hall, I could see the Guardsmen advancing up the hill, scattering students with tear gas as they came.
