George "Bugs" Moran Bugs Moran was a henchman for the "North Side Gang", formerly run by slain Dean O'Banion, who's death Moran swore to avenge against the South Side gangsters, Al Capone and Johnny Torrio.
One night a gun toting Moran waited outside Torrio's home. As Torrio arrived home from shopping with his wife, Moran openend fire. Torrio collapsed instantly, as Moran walked to Torrio's almost lifeless body, he aimed his gun directly at Torrio's head.
As Moran attempted to deliver the final shot into Torrio's skull, however the gun has run out of ammunition, forcing Moran to flee the scene.
It was now time to go after Al Capone. After several unsuccessful attempts to kill Capone, a peace treaty was made between the two rivals. However Moran still continued to knock off many of Capone's "staff".
Capone decided to end it once and for all by planning the St Valentine's Day Massacre. The intent was to get rid of Moran and his gang, however as Capone's gang pulled up outside, disquised as a cop car, Moran, fearing a raid, left through the back entrance and escaped the bloody carnage that was the fate of his gang.
