At the Boston Customs House, a wigmaker's apprentice mistakenly harangued a British officer about an unpaid bill, and was struck by a British sentry, Private Hugh White. A confrontation with White and the other British soldiers grew heated, with as many as 200 colonists gathering. Some colonists taunted and threw items at the soldiers. One sentry was knocked down, and then (without an order) soldiers fired into the growing mob. Five colonists were killed and six wounded.
