It was the morning of saint Valentines Day when five members of the Italian group, two of them dressed like cops lined seven members of the Moran's group against the rear walls of a garage and shot bullets on them. The brutal killings of these seven gangsters literally shocked the American public. The day when the incident took place, Al Capone was out on a vacation to Florida.
This incident occurred as a result of planning done by one of the gang members of Al Capone group, called Jack McGurn to kill Moran and the reason behind being that an attempt had been made in the past to assassinate him by the Irish gang. So as to take revenge, he assembled a team and the basic plan was to lure Moran and his group mates to a deal of buying hijacked illegal liquor at bargained rates. And then they planned that they would make an entry into the building dressed like police officials who would pretend to have caught their illegal activities and shoot them. But anyways McGurn's plan of killing Moran along with his seven-gang members failed because only five members got captured. So this is the story of St. Valentine's Day massacre.
