I think the best parallel that could be drawn would be the [Kent State Shootings.] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_State_shootings) given the similarities between the Kent state students' goals and the Tiananmen students' goals.

Though even then there were only four fatalities. No where near Tiananmen. Plus the US government isn't doing anything to try to hide the murders either.
