Francis Two Gun Crowley (October 31 1912 – January 21 1932) was an American murderer and career criminal. His crime spree lasted nearly three months ending in a two-hour shootout with the New York City Police Department in May 1931. It was viewed by 15000 bystanders. The 19-year-old’s stand against the NYPD received national attention and he would later influence the image of the archetypal Irish gangster.
