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.

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.

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