Bonnie and Clyde's Ambush!






Fatal Ambush


MAY 23, 1934

The ambush site was surrounded by dense woodlands. The road that Barrow and his companion would be traveling that day, was long and straight. The sun had just begun to rise on the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 23rd 1934. After spending the night in the Louisiana woods, being tormented by mosquitoes and chiggers, the members of the posse were ready to call it a night, but decided to wait another half hour.

Just then, they heard the distant sound, of a car approaching at a considerable speed. Bonnie Parker was sitting on the passenger side, eating a sandwich and reading a magazine. Clyde Barrow was driving in his stocking feet. He had noticed is friend's disabled truck, on the side of the road and pulled over to offer assistance, not knowing, that this was just a ploy, by the lawmen to ambush them.

Bonnie, upon seeing movement in the bushes, screamed! The sound of gunfire broke the morning stillness. The impact of the bullets, sent the shattered pieces of the windows flying through the air. Clyde raised his Browning rifle to fire, but never got off a shot, The gun had jammed. As the volley of bullets met their targets, the back of Clyde's head exploded and at the moment of death, his foot slipped off of the clutch pedal, causing the car, which was in low gear, to roll about thirty feet, before crashing into a ditch.

The view inside showed Clyde's head snapped backwards, mouth open, and blood streaks splayed across his face. Bonnie's small framed body, slumped forward, her right hand blown completely away. The bloody map of Louisiana, lay on the seat beside her.
