    The throwing of objects at the soldiers by the people of Boston led British soldiers to fire on them.

    Explanation:

    The British Council had posted army troops in different colonies and had ordered the settlers to comply with the needs of the army men and provide them accommodation.

    This move was not welcomed by the settlers. There were frequent quarrels between the army personnel and the colonists.

    In one such confrontation between the two that happened on the 5th of March 1770, the colonists started throwing things at the army men. This act of the settlers angered the army and they fired back on the settlers in retaliation. Five colonists died in this firing.
