On the evening of the shootings, Cleveland Sellers was arrested while hospitalized; he was taken into custody and charged with inciting the riot, arson, assault and battery with intent to kill, property damage, housebreaking, and grand larceny. He received a full pardon in 1993. John H. Elliot was later added to the list of those injured. He was shot in the stomach but did not go to the hospital for treatment. Media coverage This was the first incident of its kind on a United States university campus. The Orangeburg killings received relatively little media coverage. The events predated the 1970 Kent State shootings and Jackson State killings, in which protesters against the Vietnam War were killed by the National Guard, and by the local and state highway patrol, respectively. The perceived overreaction by law enforcement helped galvanize public opinion against the war.
