The thread (above) that points to the sequence of events is a good reference for anyone whose memory of the events is stale or second hand. To add another point that the KSU professors may have missed, the Guardsmen that participated in the KSU tragedy were readily available because they had already been called up and had just finished an exhausting time dealing with (if I remember correctly) that year's Spring floods.I was in the Army at the time, stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas. Our unit had gone through extensive riot control training. This training emphasized restraint and one of the specifics was that ammunition was tightly controlled. The information we received about Kent emphasized that the Guardsmen had received ABSOLUTLY NO such training.
