Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd is shot by FBI agents in a corn
field in East Liverpool, Ohio. Floyd, who had been a hotly
pursued fugitive for four years, used his last breath to deny
his involvement in the infamous Kansas City Massacre, in
which four officers were shot to death at a train station. He
died shortly thereafter.

Outside Chicago’s Biograph Theatre, notorious criminal
John Dillinger—America’s “Public Enemy No. 1″—was
killed in a hail of bullets fired by federal agents.
In a fiery bank-robbing career that lasted just over a year,
Dillinger and his associates robbed 11 banks for more
than $300,000, broke jail and narrowly escaped capture
multiple times, and killed seven police officers and
three federal agents.
