Actually, only
six of the seven men were
companions of
George "Bugsy" Moran. The seventh person was
a friend of one of the men. A very
unlucky friend.
Also, two of the
gunmen were dressed as
police. That is the reason the victims complied to
dropping their weapons and putting their hands
against the wall.
Bugsy was
across the street when the gunmen entered the garage, and didnt go in because he thought that the men were officers.
Lucky little break.
Another
interesting fact, on
St. Valentines Day seven years later, Bugsy Moran had the main person in charge of the massacre shot in a
bowling alley.
