The Boston Massacre, also known to the British as the Incident on King Street, was an incident in 1770 wherein British Army soldiers killed 5 male civilians and injured six others. This small group of soldiers had been stationed in Boston in 1768 to help the British king's officials attempt to enforce unpopular legislation. These soldiers were subjected to verbal abuse and thrown objects until they eventually snapped and fired into the crowd without orders.
I may not know everything about the boston Massacre, but I just want to let you know, that some one else had wrote a answer to this question, and it was highly innapropraite and so I deleted it.
Sorry for not completely answering your question- I just would rather have this up then what that person had up.

Into the spring of 1770, there had been rumors of a military takeover of Boston. On March 5, 1770, some boys began hurling snowballs and stones at a small group of soldiers.
Bells began ringing and a crowd gathered quickly. Someone gave the order to fire and five citizens of Boston fell to the street, dead or mortally wounded.
Among them was Crispus Attucks, a fugitive slave who had actively participated in previous encounters with the soldiers. Attucks was the first victim of the Revolution.
On March1770,violence broke out between British soldiers and some colonists.

They weren't linked. The only thing is they both happened in Boston and were years apart. The Boston Massacre was spun by Paul Revere in hand bills to create distrust between the colonies and the British. The events we think we know for the massacre and the tea party are NOT what really happened. Watch the history channel program on the Boston Massacre in the series unknown history.
