About Allison Krause

  • Allison Beth Krause (; Hebrew: ???? ; April 23, 1951 – May 4, 1970) was an American honor student at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, when she was killed by soldiers of 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 (106 m).
  • Krause was shot in the left side of her chest at about 330 ft (105 m), 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 the left side of her chest, fragmenting on impact and causing massive internal trauma.
  • She died from her wounds later the same day.
