John Herbert Dillinger (1903 – 1934) was an infamous
American
gangster in the
Depression-era
United States
. He operated with a group of men known by some as the
Dillinger Gang or Terror Gang
, which was accused of robbing 24 banks and four police stations, among other activities. Dillinger escaped from jail twice. He was also charged with, but never convicted of, the murder of an
East Chicago, Indiana
, police officer who shot Dillinger in his
bullet-proof vest
during a shootout, prompting him to return fire. It was Dillinger's only homicide charge.
In the heyday of the Depression-era outlaw (1933–1934), Dillinger was the most notorious of all, standing out even among more violent criminals such as
Baby Face Nelson
,
Pretty Boy Floyd
, and
Bonnie and Clyde
, as evidenced by the fact that decades later, the first major book about 1930s gangsters was titled
The Dillinger Days
. He courted publicity, styling himself as a
Robin Hood
figure, and the media of his time ran exaggerated accounts of his bravado and colorful personality, causing the government to demand federal action. In response, the
Director of the Bureau of Investigation
,
J. Edgar Hoover
, developed a more sophisticated
Federal Bureau of Investigation
as a weapon against
organized crime
, using Dillinger and his gang as his campaign platform.
After evading police in four states for almost a year, Dillinger was wounded and returned to his father's home to recover. He returned to Chicago in July 1934 and met his end at the hands of police and federal agents who were informed of his whereabouts by
Ana Cumpănaş
(the owner of the brothel where Dillinger had sought refuge at the time). On July 22, 1934, the police and the Division of Investigation closed in on the
Biograph Theater
. Federal agents, led by
Melvin Purvis
and
Samuel P. Cowley
, moved to arrest Dillinger as he exited the theater. He drew a
weapon
and attempted to flee, but was shot four times and killed.
