On this day - 23 May

Bonnie and Clyde were widely known bandits who travelled across the centre of the USA, committing crimes and robberies. They committed multiple murders, including several police officers. The two had numerous run ins with the law and by the time of their death, Clyde alone had 16 outstanding warrants against him for his arrest.

On May 23rd 1934 Bonnie and Clyde were both shot and killed in an ambush by law enforcement. Bonnie and Clyde's movements had been predicted by the team tracking them and they had a gang associate of Bonnie and Clyde's park at the side of the road near the ambush as bait. When the two slowed at the vehicle, the law enforcement team opened fire and emptied their weapons of around 130 bullets killing the pair.
