Nobody did an accurate count of the natives killed before they were tossed together into a burial pit, but 180 is a reasonable estimate. Witnesses later stated that "about half" of the 350 natives present were killed.

25 soldiers were killed and 39 wounded, almost certainly all resulting from shots from their own side.
