"Cops Shoot Three Student Protesters" by Jim Boggio, The Militant, May 19, 1972
This article describes how police in Albuquerque, New Mexico, shot and injured three student protesters from the University of New Mexico during an antiwar demonstration. The protest began as a peaceful march but escalated when students blocked an interstate highway, leading police to use tear gas and later open fire. Witnesses reported chaos and confusion as the crowd scattered, and the injured students were taken to the hospital in critical condition.
