In a matter of minutes, eight militiamen were killed outright and ten others were wounded. By late morning, Lexington\u2019s Captain John Parker bravely rallied his company and marched off in the direction of Lincoln and <a href=\"https:\/\/freedomsway.org\/staging\/6553\/communities\/concord\/\">Concord<\/a>. Parker knew all too well the formidable size of the British forces, yet he and his company chose to march toward them and engage them a second time. At this site, they waited until the British column was close, then opened fire in a coordinated assault that momentarily stopped the retreating British, further exposing them to Minute Man companies
