Bonnie and Clyde Tourist Cabin Shootout
Kansas City, Missouri
After accidentally driving their stolen car into a river in Texas, Bonnie and Clyde stole another car, then rented a couple of cabins at a tourist motel north of Kansas City. They met the rest of their gang and settled in at the Red Crown Tavern and Tourist Cabins to tend to their injuries.
The law, however, was hot on their trail, and surrounded the cabins on July 19, 1933. But in a hail of gunfire and reckless driving, Bonnie, Clyde, and the rest of their gang somehow piled into two cars and escaped.
In 2011, on the anniversary of the shootout, a historical marker was unveiled to mark the site.
