#OTD 1929: Seven men, suspected to be members of George “Bugs” Moran’s gang, were lined up against the wall of a garage on Clark Street, the gang’s headquarters, and killed by rivals’ machine guns in what became known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.It became the most infamous of all gangland slayings in America, and it savagely achieved its purpose — the elimination of the last challenge to Al Capone for the mantle of crime boss in Chicago.
