==Four student deaths==
On May 4, around 2,000 people gathered for a previously planned rally to protest the American invasion of Cambodia, despite the university's announcement of a ban or cancellation. When a [[police]] official ordered the crowd to disperse, his Jeep was "pelted with rocks" and one guardsman was injured. The two guard units advanced with loaded [[rifle]]s and fixed [[bayonet]]s and partly succeeded in dispersing the crowd.

Remaining students threw rocks and tear gas canisters at the guardsmen. There are conflicting reports about whether guardsmen were fired upon (see [[opening fire]] or [[returning fire]]).
