During an outdoor rally in Laurel, Maryland, George Wallace,
the governor of Alabama and a presidential candidate, was
shot by 21-year-old Arthur Bremer (above ).

On June 8, Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected
to Congress and one of Wallace’s opponents for the
Democratic nomination, famously visited him in the hospital
to wish him well.   

Wallace remained in the hospital for several months, bringing
his third presidential campaign to an irrevocable end.

On May 4, 1970, in Kent, Ohio, 28 National Guardsmen fired their weapons at a group of anti-war demonstrators on the Kent State University campus, killing four students and wounding nine.

The tragedy was a watershed moment for a nation divided by the
conflict in Vietnam, and further galvanized the anti-war movement.

Two women were killed and 2 men were wounded at
Richmond Road Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky
on Sunday.

(FOX NEWS) – Governor Beshear asks for prayers following
violent incident at Richmond Road Baptist Church. A Kentucky
state trooper was also among the injured. He was in stable
condition and receiving medical treatment at the time of
the report.

Police believe the suspect, who was shot by responding law
enforcement and was pronounced deceased at the scene,
may have had a connection to the Church.
