Anyone recall the FBI / John Dillinger incident at Little Bohemia? In the aftermath it prompted Will Rogers to say, "Dillinger better be careful. One of these days he's going to be standing around a bunch of innocent bystanders, and he's gonna get SHOT!"

That's exactly what happened, he was walking between 2 women and got shot .

That's exactly what happened, he was walking between 2 women and got shot .

But no innocents were shot in that ambush, it being a total setup.
At the little Bohemia lodge, the FBI shot 3 innocents, killing 2, just because they had the audacity to drive away from the lodge at the same time the FBI was arriving.

John Dillinger was executed, not "shot". So were Pretty Boy Floyd, Bonnie and Clyde, and several other "motorized bandits" of the 30's. Most were lured into ambushes set up by law enforcement, then simply executed when they drove into them. Bonnie and Clyde the most infamous of them all. Frank Hammer set up an ambush with a third party Bonnie and Clyde trusted. When they approached, they were cut to pieces.

It was said Clyde was killed with the first shot. His foot then slipped off the clutch of the Ford V-8 he was driving, causing it to roll forward. Everyone else then opened up on them. Today if law enforcement tried that, they would lose their jobs and be put in prison. Then they were given accolades. Frank Hammer died as one of the most decorated Texas Rangers who ever lived. Guns owned by him are worth thousands of dollars.

Dillinger and Bonnie and Clyde were the only 2 who were actually "whacked", Pretty boy Floyd, opened fire on an unarmed cop then shot it out with an armed search party , Baby Face Nelson ambushed a couple car loads of FBI Agents.
He did pretty good, but not good enough.
