Yeah, I would say it's before the shooting, except for the smoke. Or everyone was really stunned, there were a few moments of dead silence.

Yeah sorry but if there's gunplay I'm for running away. People get hurt watching baseball games. But I guess the smoke in the photo probably is from some "pre-gunfire" shenanigans, nothing to fear.

 



Despite the fact they are in college people 18-22 don't always make the best/safest choice.



Not to imply that older people do. :)

The people whose backs you see were not the ones being fired on, but were a bit of a distance away.  There are some hills in that area and there were a number of "spectators" to what happened.

Having seen that footage many times, I always was amazed that any of the passengers survived.

The Kent State Massacre took place 42 years ago today. As a witness to this event, I remember it like it happened yesterday.
