DEAN KAHLER (KAY-ler), wounded in the Kent State University shootings

DEAN KAHLER (KAY-ler), wounded in the Kent State University shootings. 25 years ago today the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of students at Kent State University demonstrating over raids into Cambodia. Four students were killed and nine were injured in the shooting. The National Guard and Governor of Ohio (who ordered the Guard's presence) were exonerated of any responsibility for the shooting. KAHLER was the only survivor to be paralyzed. He is currently a substitute teacher still living in Ohio.
