Utah honors 250th anniversary of the ‘Shot Heard Round the World’ with ceremony at the Capitol

The sound of bagpipes echoed off the marble steps of the Utah Capitol Saturday morning. It was the kind of sound that makes people stop and listen. But this event wasn’t about music. It was about a gunshot; one that was fired 250 years ago on Lexington Green in Massachusetts, a moment forever known as the Shot Heard Round the World. It was the beginning of the American Revolution and, eventually, the story of how the United States began.
