On the morning of February 14, 1929, a horrific crime took place on the north side of Chicago.

Seven men were lined up against the wall of an auto garage and gunned down in cold blood by machine gun fire. 

The event marked the low point of the violent mob wars that took place in the city of Chicago. It also marked a turning point in attitudes towards prohibition in the United States and the war on organized crime.
