This is аn excerpt frоm the newspаper аrticle published by the Bоstоn Gazette on March 12, 1770: "On hearing the noise, one Samuel Atwood came up to see what was the matter; and entering the alley from dock square, heard the latter part of the combat; and when the boys had dispersed he met the ten or twelve soldiers aforesaid rushing down the alley towards the square and asked them if they intended to murder people? They answered Yes, by God, root and branch! With that one of them struck Mr. Atwood with a club which was repeated by another; and being unarmed, he turned to go off and receive a wound on the left shoulder which reached the bone and gave him much pain." Based on the information the people of Boston received, what assumptions could they make about the Boston Massacre and how did they respond?
