St. Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago

Members and associates of Chicago's North Side Gang were gunned down in a garage on North Clark Street in a high-profile gangland killing known as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

The massacre shocked the nation, focused public attention on violent organized crime, and intensified demands for stronger federal law-enforcement measures during the final weeks of Coolidge's presidency.
