May 23

On this day - May 23 1934 -Bonnie and Clyde died in a police ambush 

Bonnie and Clyde was to famous American bank robbers during the Great Depression. They traveled around the Central US with their gang, robbing and killing banks, stores and people during their travels. Their gang consisted of different people, but Clydes older brother and his wife was with Bonnie and Clyde the day they died. It is believed that the gang killed nine police officers, but they got their revenge on May 23. Bonnie and Clyde was ambushed in Louisiana by six police officers who shot and killed the couple. The police knew where the couple would be because they traveled the same route based on family visits. The police predicted where the couple would travel next. The offices emptied their guns on the couple in the car and they both died. Their life is portrayed in the movie "Bonnie and Clyde" from 1964.
