When British Major John Pitcairn arrived at Lexington, which was on the way to Concord, he found 70 American minutemen (actually, they were almost all farmers) in battle formation at the town square. Pitcairn ordered the Americans to disperse but when they didn’t move after the second order to do so, someone fired a shot. It is not known if the shot was fired by Americans or British. The British easily cleared Lexington and marched on to Concord. He found more Americans arming the bridge into the town so Pitcairn order the British to return to Boston. All the way back to Boston, the Americans sniped at the British from behind trees and rocks, inflicting serious injury to the British troops. When the Redcoats reached Boston, 250 had been killed or wounded.
At the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the Patriots suffered 93 casualties, with 49 killed, 39 missing, and 5 wounded. The British suffered 300 casualties, with 73 killed, 174 missing, and 53 wounded.
There were approximately 300 British casualties and 102 colonist casualties.

Of the 102 colonists... 5 went missing, 17, and 80 were killed in action.
49 people died... 39 people were wounded... 5 people went missing.....

The Battle of Lexington and Concord was the first armed conflict between British forces and the 13 colonies in North America. It was fought on April, 19, 1775 in the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, and Menotomy near Boston in Massachusetts. This battle heralded the era of open armed conflict between the Continental army and British forces.
The first victory for the Colonialists was in Concord, Massachusetts at the start of the war. It was here that the Colonies formed up regulars to fight against the British on their march from Lexington. They eventually pushed the British back to the safety of Charlestown which would later lead to the siege of Boston.
