None. The first shot fired in the Revolution was when the British column marched into Lexington, MA, early on the morning of 19 April. The minutemen of Lexington were waiting on the green. After an exchange of volleys, the minutemen dispersed and several were killed and wounded. No British soldiers were killed. Later, the British went on to Concord and a patrol was confronted by minutemen from Acton and Bedford. Shots were exchanged and the first British soldier was killed. The British pulled out of Concord and returned to Boston. All along the way the minutemen fired at them. Many other British and Americans died during this running battle. Your question probably asked for the total killed on this day. Casualties: The British Regiments suffered 19 officers and 250 soldiers killed and wounded. The American losses did not exceed 90 men.

Known as "the shot heard around the world," Lexington and Concord started the shooting war between the British and the American Patriots. When British Major John Pitcairn arrived at Lexington, which was on the way to Concord, he found 70 American minutemen (actually, they were almost all farmers) in battle formation at the town square. Pitcairn ordered the Americans to disperse but when they didn't move after the second order to do so, someone fired a shot. It is not known if the shot was fired by Americans or British. The British easily cleared Lexington and marched on to Concord. He found more Americans arming the bridge into the town so Pitcairn order the British to return to Boston. All the way back to Boston, the Americans sniped at the British from behind trees and rocks, inflicting serious injury to the British troops. When the Redcoats reached Boston, 250 had been killed or wounded. Lexington and Concord are considered the first battles of the Revolution. It was time for the colonists to determine which side of the fight they would join, Patriots or Loyalists.

Mowatt burned Falmouth, October 18th, 1775. Captain Mowatt had been held prisoner by the residents of Falmouth for one night in May of 1775. Under orders from Admiral Graves (The same man who made Brithish troops under the command of Col. Smith wait for several hours at Phips farm before heading off to Concord, giving locals time to muster an armed resistance.) Mowatt was to burn port towns in New England as retribution for British losses at Lexington and Concord and also at Bunker Hill. (Graves burned Charlestown during Bunker Hill) Mowatt remembered his differences with the people of Falmouth and returned.
