Description
Kansas City skyline looking north from the Liberty Memorial, the Union Station is the center piece.
June 17, 1933
One of the most infamous dates in Kansas City history is the Union Station Massacre. Convicted mobster Frank Nash, under escort by a team of FBI agents and police officers was shot and killed outside the Station during a shootout. Four law enforcement officers were also killed. There are marks on the front of the building that for years were claimed as bullet holes from the shooting, but tests by Kansas City, Mo. police recently showed the marks could not have come from bullets. However, the myth and the mystery of the incident live on. There were various theories that other mobsters had committed the crime, but the only man ever charged was Adam Richetti who died in Missouri's gas chamber. As result of the massacre, Congress strengthened the power of the FBI.

Very nice detail, and good depth. Nice shot! A little darker sky may make it even more dramatic.

Great shot - I went to school at UMKC and recall this park being pretty dangerous after dark - looks like this area has improved.
