The following day, the violence by leftists ensued and ten national guardsmen were injured. The following day, 2,000 rioters gathered and infranty and cavalry of the US Army was brought in to disperse the crowd. The legality of the dispersal was upheld by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The Adjutant General of the Ohio National Guard told reporters that a sniper had fired on the Guardsman. The Guardsman, in fear of their lives and which they subsequently testified, fired.
