February 14, 1929 a bizarre day in the history of gang warfare. It was on this date that four members of Al Capone's Chicago gang trapped seven members of their rival gang (headed by "Bugs" Moran) and brutally shot them. Capone's gang members, dressed as policemen, cornered Moran's gang members near a Chicago warehouse. They then told them to place their hands on the wall. Moran's men, under the assumption that this was a routine police check, obeyed without resistance. Capone's men proceeded to pull out sawed off shotguns and sub-machine guns and shot the men in the back, firing squad style.
