A lot of people have believed this for years.

If I recall correctly, there were people present who admitted that they heard shots coming from a direction different from that of the National Guard line.

My uncle was an Ohio National Guard troop way back then waiting on stand by to be called up incase things got worse. Luckily he never had to go. Way back then this was what the guard troops said but the left made it into some sort of fable about strom troopers who opened fire on them. My uncle was an 18 yo man who was serving his country after older brother had been in Vietnam. It’s good the truth is finally coming out.

I don’t discount the “riots” were orchestrated by communist agitators. Shots fired from the students, I doubt. Read the article about where the FBI “plant” inside the crowd, armed with a snub nose revolver, that had been discharged. When, at whom, and why?

True. But why let facts get in the way of leftist propaganda?
the truth never stopped them before.

You are correct. At the time, this was common knowledge, but I don’t believe anyone was ever prosecuted on the matter. It seems odd that it would be classified since everyone seemed to know about the shots taken towards the guardsmen. Certainly no conspiracy on the part of the authorities in keeping it confidential. Probably has to do with informants identities being kept secret.

I knew about it, as it was broadcast on the news for over a week.
