Originally reported by a Boston news station in video format. This article has a written summary.
Ordinarily I don't find things like this interesting; however, the comments made by the park ranger Fuoss were very interesting.
They are an interesting comparison to when I was at Battle Road in 2017 and the park rangers glossed over the events.
I was just sent a link about that too:

Foxnews left out the part where the ranger said "That moment is later termed 'the shot heard around the world' because it's the first moment that the militia are actually ordered to fire at their own government soldiers at this point in time. This is a civil war,"
We actually just went to Boston and spoke with this ranger at both The Wayside and Hartwell Tavern. He was truly captivating and I wish we could have visited every site with him.
