Saint Valentine's Day Massacre (1929)

The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre is the name given to the 1929 murder of seven mob associates of North side Irish gang led by Bugs Moran during the Prohibition Era. This resulted from the struggle to take control of organized crime in Chicago between the Irish American gang and the South Side Italian gang led by Al Capone. Former members of the Egan's Rats gang were also suspected of having played a significant role in the incident, assisting Capone.
