How did the Boston Massacre escalate from a small event to a larger one? The settlers were first friendly with the British soldiers and then started arguing with them.

The massacre began with a short jail sentence and led to a death penalty for several settlers.

A heated discussion between settlers and British soldiers led to gunshots and fatalities.

A child got angry with the British soldiers. Then, more and more people started getting angry with the soldiers until hundreds of settlers were yelling at them.

The colonists fired first, they began throwing rocks and understandably the British fired back but with guns. That's how it happened I may be wrong but that's how I remember it.
