John Dillinger Gunned Down at Biograph Theater

This event has not been added to any topics.

When John Dillinger was gunned down by federal agents in 1934 he was "public enemy number one," so named by the U.S. Justice Department for his string of violent bank robberies and prison breaks. Dillinger was an Indiana boy gone bad: he went AWOL from the U.S. Navy in 1923 and was caught robbing banks in 1924. He served nearly nine years in Indiana State Prison and was paroled in May of 1933.
