Captain Thomas Preston and his group of British soldiers were strongly protecting the Custom House, as colonists threw snowballs at them. Then a soldier reportedly said "fire", and soon five colonists were killed and another six were wounded. A majority of the soldiers, except for 2, were found "not guilty" at the trial. British troops won that round in terms of casualties. -defeat for the colonists
