Bugs Moran — The Man Who Escaped the Ambush | Crimes in Song

Bugs Moran — The Man Who Escaped the Ambush. Chicago, 1929. George “Bugs” Moran became one of the leading figures on Chicago's North Side during the violent Prohibition era. His organization was locked in a long-running conflict with Al Capone's Chicago Outfit. On February 14, 1929, seven men connected to Moran's organization were killed inside a North Clark Street garage in what became known as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Moran himself was not at the meeting and survived. The massacre became one of the most notorious episodes of Chicago's gangster era and marked a devastating blow to Moran's organization. The full story behind who ordered the massacre has remained the subject of historical debate, although it became widely associated with Capone's organization. REAL CRIMES. REAL STORIES.
