Clyde is known today for his bank robberies. However, he preferred to rob small stores or rural gas stations. The gang is believed to have killed at least nine police officers and several civilians. The couple were eventually surprised and killed by police in Bienville Parish, Louisiana.^[1]

A 1967 film about them, Bonnie and Clyde, stars Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty.
