KENT, Ohio (AP) - April 26, 2009 Video shows students hurling furniture and street signs into the
flames on Saturday night as a SWAT team in riot gear converges on
the crowd. Kent police say the riot began when partying students
ignored orders to disperse and pelted police officers with bottles
and rocks.
Police dispatcher Rosemarie Mosher (MOH'-sher) says 64 students
were arrested, and several officers suffered minor injuries. Mosher
says the riot occurred on an off-campus street where many students
live.
Kent State spokesman Tom Neumann (NEW'-man) says the students'
behavior is inexcusable and the university is awaiting more
information from police.
