No, Billy Bishop fought with the Red Baron but did not shoot him down. The Red Baron was shot down later, probably by Australian anti-aircraft gunners on the ground but possibly by RAF pilot Roy Brown, a Canadian, who was attacking the Red Baron.

What happend when Billy Bishop fought the red baron?

Billy Bishop was in a dogfight with 7 Canadian planes (Nieuports) against 5 German planes (Albatrosses. von Richthofen's squadron of 4 planes joined the fight. von Richthofen and Bishops separated from the main fight and had a dogfight between what were to become each side's highest scoring ace of the war. Bishop had one clear shot at von Richthofen but his gun jammed. After he cleared his gun, they had a dogfight but he never had another clean shot. Bishop claimed he put some holes in von Richthofen's plane but didn't bring it down. The .30 caliber machine guns slow firing machine guns used by planes in WWI required a lot of hits to take down a plane. The only quick way to bring down an opponent was a lucky shot hitting the pilot or a vital engine component.

A pilot was NOT the one who shot him down. He shot by ground fire. The fatal shots came from Australian soldiers of the 4th Machine Gun Battalion. Actually the shooter was Captin Roy Brown he made a huge dive towards the Red Baron and fired 2 deadly shots. From the angle it was rather possible that one of the shots struck the red baron, killing him, but the plane was perfectally fine.
