From Wikipedia

The Orangeburg massacre[1] was an incident on February 8, 1968 in which local policemen in Orangeburg, South Carolina fired into a crowd of young people who were protesting local segregation at a bowling alley. They killed three and injured twenty-eight[2], hitting most of them in their backs. After the shooting stopped, two others were injured by police in the aftermath and one, a pregnant woman, later had a miscarriage due to the beating, which brought the total up to 4 dead and 31 injured (although most only list 3 dead and 27 injured). The incident pre-dated the Kent State shootings and Jackson State killings.
