Why was the Lexington battle fought?

700 soldiers of the British Army had been ordered to Concord to take possession of a rebel arms depot. The rebels had been tipped off and were waiting for them.

There is a POSSIBILITY that the famous "shot fired heard round the world" that began the battle and the war was actually a hunter in the nearby forest which triggered nervous soldiers into battle.
