Boston Massacre

Boston Gazette March 12, 1770

Monday evening soldiers were parading the cutlasses and bayonets, and abusing and wounding innocents civilians.

Stuff Happens

Four kids went to Cornhill. A soldier with a sword hit one of the kids and people started to gather around them.

Bad Stuff Happens Soon

Samuel Atwood came in and said "hey are you gonna kill them?" and the others guys were like "yeah!" and then they beat Samuel up with clubs like jerks.

Oh no bad stuff is starting!

Then the British commander was like "shoot them." and then more snow ball/rocks hit them and one shot but then someone hit him and he dropped his gun.

ACK BAD STUFF!

The British troops fired. They said seven, eight, or even eleven guns were fired. 5 people were killed, and 8 were injured.

Moral: British troops are jerks.
