Startling if true ...

One of the tragic moments in the history of the 60s. The common interpretation here has been that a young inexperienced guardsman fired from panic and fear, starting it all. This would change that.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- A man who was shot in the wrist when National Guard troops killed four Kent State University students during an anti-war demonstration says he has found an audiotape that reveals someone gave a command to fire.

Alan Canfora wants the government to reopen the 37-year-old case because he thinks it will give both the victims and shooters a chance to heal.

He said that just before the 13-second volley of gunfire, a voice on the tape is heard yelling, "Right here! Get Set! Point! Fire!"
