Several men from Al Capone's gang barged into the Moran gangs drop-off place of the illegal liquor dressed up in stolen police officers suits. The seven gang members of Morans gang thought that Al Capone's men were really police officers so they were facing the wall with their hands up. Right after that many other men from Al Capone's gang darted into the drop-off area and used different type of guns mainly machine guns and shot close to 200 bullets into the seven men.
