The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. Colonel Smith, finding his forces overmatched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. During a tense standoff in Lexington 's town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government's plans. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that "none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily." Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms. Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons. The governor, who described the group's organizers as "criminals," issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government's efforts to secure law and order. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw. National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a para-military extremist faction.
