February 14, 1929

Saint Valentine's Day Massacre

On this day in 1929, Al Capone's gang put a hit on a rival Irish gang, killing seven mobsters in a North Side of Chicago neighborhood. The massacre brought increased attention by the federal government to the violence going on in Chicago, which ultimately led to Capone's downfall.
