There are two different Shots, both Literal, of course. the first was the opening line of the Concord Hymn by Ralph Waldo Emerson. that poem was about the American Revolution and the first shot to be fired during the American Revolutionary War...
The Second one is considered to be the shot that was fired on the 24th of June 1914 and assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. The First World War started one month later as relationships between Bosnia and Austria fell apart...
