Don't eat the red snow

Eighty-four years ago this morning an employee of a Brooklyn lumber yard showed up for work and found a blood trail. His curiosity peeked, he followed said trail which led to a pile of snow. Digging he found one James Tinorello who had been shot three times in the back of the head. Police said that Tinorello, who was 27 and had six arrest under his belt, was involved in a liquor syndicate that operated in Brooklyn and Queens.

Shot three times? I guess ammo was cheaper back then.
