allison beth krause -lrb- april 23 , 1951 -- may 4 , 1970 -rrb- was an honor student at kent state university in kent , ohio , when she was killed by the ohio army national guard in the kent state shootings , while protesting against the invasion of cambodia and the presence of the national guard on the kent state campus .
national guardsmen opened fire on a group of unarmed students , killing four of them , at an average distance of about 345 ft -lrb- 106 m -rrb- .
krause was shot in the left side of her body at about 330 ft -lrb- 105 m -rrb- , from which she received a fatal wound .
a subsequent autopsy found that a single rifle bullet entered and exited her upper left arm , and then entered her left lateral chest , fragmenting on impact and causing massive internal injuries .
she died from her injuries later that same day .
