The event is called the Boston Massacre.
This event happened because there were a lot of angry protesters against the lobster back, so the brits were very anxious.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers "thought" that his officer said to fire, so he fired, then a chain reaction of shooting happened. The whole thing was an accident.
