; ; j “1 CG 98-1975 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.
