Bonnie and Clyde



Bonnie Parker, and Clyde Barrow, were members of a notorious gang that opperated in the early thirties. There are various stories about how the famous couple met, but the story that seems to be the most realistic is that they met at a friends house. The gang started out with small robberies of grocery stores and gas stations. Eventually though, at a party where the gang had been drinking, which was illegal under prohibition at the time, they were approached by a deputy of the local police. The drunk gangsters opened fire at the police officer and killed him, marking the first lawman to be killed in the time of Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie and Clyde were killed on May 21, 1934 by a group of Texas lawmen who had set up an ambush for them in Louisanna. The lawmen had learned of a meeting that the two gangsters were going to have in the area, and moved to set up their ambush along the Louisana highway, and had to wait a long time before the car holidng Bonnie and Clyde drove by. The lawmen opened fire on the car, firing a total of about 130 rounds, and killed the two gangsters there on the highway.
