<div>'''William Knox Schroeder''' ([[July 20]], [[1950]] - [[May 4]], [[1970]]) was a student at [[Kent State University]], [[Ohio]], when he was killed by [[United States National Guard|Ohio National Guard]]smen in the [[Kent State shootings]]. <br />
<br />
Schroeder was born and raised in [[Cincinnati, Ohio]]. Already an [[Eagle Scout]],[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,909174-4,00.html] at age 17 Schroeder applied for the Army [[Reserve Officer Training Corps]] Scholarship. He received the Academic Achievement award from both the [[Colorado School of Mines]] and from Kent State University, where he was a psychology student. He also earned the [[Association of the United States Army]] award for excellence in history.<br />
<br />
Schroeder was killed with a shot in the back from an [[M1 Garand|M-1]] semi-automatic military rifle. According to reports, he was not taking part in the [[Vietnam War]] protests that preceded the shootings, but simply walking between classes.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A2773389</ref> His college roommate, Lou Cusella, stated that he believed Schroeder was trying to flee when shot. "Bill was 332 feet away from the nearest National Guardsman, not much of a threat. He was shot with a folder in his hand."<ref>http://www.udayton.edu/news/nr/050100.html</ref> Official reports stated that Schroeder was actually 382 feet from the National Guard at the time he was shot. Three other unarmed students were killed in the shootings: [[Allison Krause]], [[Jeffrey Miller]] and [[Sandra Scheuer]]. <br />
<br />
The shootings led to protests on college campuses throughout the [[United States]], causing hundreds of campuses to close because of both violent and non-violent demonstrations. The Kent State campus remained closed for six weeks. Five days after the shootings, 100,000 people demonstrated in [[Washington DC]] against the war.<br />
