Yes, the Redcoats, or British soldiers, were involved in the skirmish at Lexington on April 19, 1775. They were sent to confiscate colonial weapons and arrest revolutionary leaders. The confrontation marked the beginning of armed conflict in the American Revolutionary War, with the first shots fired by both British troops and colonial militias. This event is famously referred to as "the shot heard 'round the world."
