The army was to enter the city as per the king's orders. There were rumours that he was going to tell the soldiers to shoot at the citizens. As a result, 7,000 men and women gathered in front of the city hall to form a civilian militia. They looked for guns in a variety of public buildings. Finally, about a hundred demonstrators made their way to the eastern edge of the city and attacked the Bastille, a fortified jail where they hoped to find ammunition that had been hidden. The Bastille commander was killed in the ensuing gunfight, and the prisoners were set free.<\/span>
Hence, both the Assertion and Reason are true, but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.<\/span>
