Saint Valentine's Day Massacre

On the frigid morning of February 14th, 1929 in an unheated brick garage at 2122 N. Clark St, seven men were lined up against a wall and pumped with 90 bullets from submachine guns, shotguns and a revolver. At about 10:30 a.m. four men burst into the SMC Cartage Co. garage that Moran used for his illegal business. Two of the men were dressed as police officers. They announced a raid and ordered the seven men inside the garage to line up against a wall, then opened fire.The victims killed included Frank "Hock" Gusenberg and his brother, Peter "Goosy" Gusenberg. Four of the other victims were Moran gangsters, but the seventh dead man was Dr. Reinhardt Schwimmer.
