Texas Rangers vs. Bonnie and Clyde
In a legendary showdown reminiscent of a Western movie, Texas Ranger Frank Hamer orchestrated the roadside ambush that brought Bonnie and Clyde's crime spree to a dramatic end. Outside Gibsland, Louisiana, Hamer and his posse unloaded a staggering 167 bullets, marking the final chapter in the outlaws' infamous tale. But it was the Lone Star State's own Hamer who orchestrated the climactic takedown, cementing his status as a Texas legend.
