Four of them died. This photograph shows a girl leaning over the prostrate body of one of the slain students with her arms out questioning, what the hell just happened here? Neil Young saw the image, had his guitar, went off into the woods and came back an hour later with a song called "Ohio". Written from absolute anger that we would do this to our students.
