Students at Kent State University in Ohio were protesting the bombing of Cambodia because they thought it escalated a war that the United States was supposedly withdrawing from.

Explanation:

Students at Kent State University staged a protest against the invasion of American and South Vietnamese troops in Cambodia that began a few days before. Authorities announced the cancellation of the rally. An Ohio National Guard unit arrived at the university with orders to disperse the demonstrators. For unknown reasons, the guards opened fire on the crowd, resulting in the death of 4 and injured 9 students.
