advised that on Monday afternoon a
rally formed after a declaration banning the gathering
of crowds had been issued. He advised that about 4,000
Students gathered in the Commons area, concentrating on
the Johnson, Engelmon, West, and Prentice Halls areas.
He advised that the ONG occasionaliy fired gas at the
crowd but the wind blew this gas back in their own
faces which caused the crowd to laugh. He advised that
the ONG continuously urged the crowd to disperse and
return to their dormitories and a student continuously
ran between the crowd and the Victory Bell and rang it.
He advised that the antics of this student around the
Victory Bell appeared to be the main attraction at
the time and the attempts of the ONG to chase this
Student away seemed to keep everyone in hysterics. He
advised that he was on the horthside of Taylor Hall
and the students gathered on the south side apparently
were throwing rocks, bricks, bottles, and pieces of pipe
at the ONG which was gathered on the South - southwest
corner, He advised that the crowd appeared to him to
be “antagonizing the ONG to a very high degree." He
advised that the rock=throwing students approached within
a short distance of the ONG, which began to retreat from
range and then turn and knelt. He advised that he then
heard what sounded like a five to seven second volley
of small firecrackers but it was apparently the ONG
firing at the students. He advised that he did not
see any students actually get shot and did not know
that anyone had been shot until a short time later when
he saw a student with blood streaming down his arm who
said that some students had been shot.
