Also to know is, how did Buffy defeat the first?
In the series finale, Buffy and her allies take the fight to the First by opening the Hellmouth and using magic to activate every potential Slayer in Buffy's army. With additional help from a magical amulet, the gang destroy the First's army, the Sunnydale Hellmouth, and the surrounding town.
Likewise, when did Buffy die the first time? On June 2, 1997, Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) died for the very first time in Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Season One finale “Prophecy Girl.” That's right, it's been 20 years since Buffy drowned in a shallow pool of water after being bitten and tossed aside by the fruit punch-mouthed vampire The Master.
Consequently, what happened to the first in Buffy?
The First was never seen after its last encounter with Buffy. Willow described it to be "scrunched," as destroying its army effectively rendered it powerless.
Did Buffy ever kill a human?
Until this point in the series, Buffy has not directly killed or deliberately attempted to kill another normal human until a what if moment in Season 6. No mention is made of the significance of this, despite her reaction to Faith accidentally killing Allan Finch in Bad Girls.
