Bonnie and Clyde shot dead in ambush by law enforcement
The notiorious bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were killed today as law enforcement officials from Texas and Louisiana confronted them near their hidout in Bienville Parish, LA.
The hunt and raid was conducted by former Texas Ranger Frank A. Hamer, an expert manhunter. Since Barrow masterminded an escape from prison, during which a guard was killed, he has been on the run, avoiding state officials by moving from state to state. Barrow and another member of the gang, Henry Methvin, also murdered two Texas Highway Patrolmen during their flight.
Officials are unclear on whether Barrow or Parker were ordered to surrender by police prior to shots being fired.
