A few colonists had been drinking and saw a lone British soldier who was in charge of guarding a building. They started harassing the soldier and were throwing snow at him. More soldiers showed up to help the soldier. Slowly the few drunk colonists were joined by more and more colonists armed with clubs, sticks, and even knives. One of the soldiers was knocked to the ground accidentally firing a shot. Out of panic, the other soldiers shot into the crowd, fearing they were being shot at. The man in the painting made by Paul revere, is shown signaling to fire, but he had actually ordered the soldiers to stop shooting. The crowd broke and ran. The soldiers killed three people immediately, they shot two more people which then died from their wounds.
One of the men that died that day was a black man named Cris pus Attucks, widely regarded as the first martyr of the Revolution.
