Lugers in crime

Roadkill · 01-26-2004, 10:12 PM

Deer season is over and I'm depressed, just too much fun to end so suddenly, so I got to thinking about Lugers again and wondered if any were used in any big name criminal acts. Any more?

Brewer and Griffin said that they fled to Chicago after the Kansas robbery, bought a car and drove to Waterloo. They were staying at the home of Mrs. E.F.Graves east of Waterloo. Brewer's German Luger automatic pistol was found about 20 feet from the scene of the crime.

Gardner said he went into his bedroom, loaded the Luger and then went to the couple's bedroom. He said Hancock advanced with the knife and he shot him. He fired the Luger five times before it jammed. Det. Lance Crull found a spent bullet on the bedroom carpet where Hancock's body had been laying. A four-foot section of carpet was ripped up and taken away as evidence. Shell casings were scattered around the room.

The assailant had walked to the sidewalk in front of the building and was leaning up against a telephone pole. He had already reloaded his Luger pistol, a souvenir from his WWI service, and was trying to light a smoke with his trembling hands.

Awakened by his wife who heard somebody entering their house, the man grabbed a Luger he had acquired when serving overseas during World War II. When the suspect confronted the homeowner, the elderly gentleman shot him once in the head, killing him.
(not criminal but good anyway)

This is criminal:

He had a German 9-mm. Luger that he had bought for $37.50 at M&H Sporting Goods in Philadelphia, and he had thirty-three rounds of ammunition. It was enough to do what he had in mind.
