    Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow Killed
    Governor Commends officer
    May 24 1934
    On a rural road in Bienville Parish, Louisiana, on 23 May 1934, Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow were shot dead in a police ambush.
    The couple were criminal celebrities during the ‘public enemy era’ in the USA, from between 1931 and 1934.
    It’s believed that they killed nine police officers and several civilians during the course of their careers as armed robbers.
    Clyde Chestnut Barrow (1909-1934) was a cold-blooded killer; he and his gang murdered at least nine law officers and several civilians during a two-year crime career that included several highly publicized bank robberies – but more often targeted small stores and gas stations, and several of the gang’s victims were store personnel and gas station attendants. While Bonnie Elizabeth Parker (1910-1934) probably never killed anyone, she was an accomplice to many of the crimes and some of the killings.
    Bonnie was 23 and Clyde 25 when they were ambushed by a posse on rural Louisiana State Highway 154 at 9:15 on the morning of 23 May 1934. The posse pumped approximately 130 bullets into the stolen car at Clyde, the driver, and Bonnie, the passenger. Even after the car crashed into an embankment, the lawmen continued firing into the car, not willing to take any chances. The coroner’s report said Clyde was hit 17 times and Bonnie 26.
