Bonnie and Clyde Ambushed and Killed (1934)
Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were notorious robbers who went on a 21-month crime spree in the central US from 1932 to 1934. They captivated Americans during the "public enemy era" and continue to do so today through films and songs. Betrayed by a friend, Bonnie and Clyde were tracked, ambushed, and killed on a desolate stretch of Louisiana highway by a posse of officers using armor-piercing rounds. Though remembered primarily as bank robbers, Bonnie and Clyde actually preferred to rob what?

The guy who set up the ambush had a freakin' amazing life. Check out Frank Hamer:

When you unstrap the 50 pounds of crap you've been toting around, a pack mule suddenly becomes a rambunctious colt.

The average lifespan of a coffee maker in our office is about 2 months. Number 3 died last Friday after only a few weeks of service.

If your body is accustomed to a daily half hour stretching regimen for the legs and back; taking 3 days off is not a good idea.

Sorry. The "incident" didn't end either my or the VFR's riding day or weekend. I have a very slightly bruised left shoulder and possible broken big toe on my left foot. We rode a couple hours after the get off and then the 300 miles home this morning.

Yeah. Wavering concentration, followed by panic, followed by locking the rear wheel. I know better but my fears and survival instincts took over.
