Our U.S. government sending no doubt badly briefed National Guardsmen to panic and kill students protesting the Vietnam war: it happened. I remember, as a college student of similar inclination at UCLA. A fusillade fired throughout 13 seconds killed four students and badly wounded nine others, resulting in one permanent paralysis.
Kent State University remembers too, yearly. In 2009 the grief-shocked kneeling bystander Mary Ann Vecchio met her documentarian of this Pulitzer Prize winning pic (within the pic above,) John Filo for the first time at one of the university's commemorative ceremonies.
Tech note on famous photo: one of the few cases where news agencies were allowed to retouch the photo, but not what you think-- many outlets removed the distracting pole in the background behind Ms. Vecchio.
