Bonnie and Clyde killed

May 23, 1934

After a two-year crime spree across the American Southwest, a Texas posse ambushed Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in a stolen Ford on a Louisiana back road. They fired a hundred and thirty bullets in thirty seconds. The young outlaws became instant folklore, and stayed there, becoming the subject of a million movies and ballads.
