(AP Photo/Tony Dejak)CLEVELAND (AP) - An audio recording made when National Guard troops killed four Kent State University students during an anti-war demonstration could resolve the mystery of whether a command to fire was issued and may offer a chance for healing for victims and shooters, a survivor said Monday.

"We're not seeking revenge; we're not seeking punishment for the Guardsmen at this late date," said Alan Canfora, wounded in the wrist during the confrontation 37 years ago.

"All we want is the truth because we seek healing at Kent State for the student victims, as well as the triggermen who were ordered to fire. And healing can only result from the truth, and that's all we want."
