John Herbert Dillinger (June 22,
1903 – July 22, 1934) was an American gangster of
the Great
Depression. He led a group known as the "Dillinger Gang",
which was accused of robbing 24 banks and four police stations.
Dillinger was imprisoned several times but escaped twice. He was
charged, but not convicted, of the murder of an East Chicago,
Indiana, police officer who shot Dillinger in
his bullet-proof
vest during a shootout; it was the
only time Dillinger was charged with homicide.
