Ex Con Battle Ends in Fatal Boston Shootout
In a Boston tenement gun battle, ex-convict Walter M. McTighe was killed and his one‑eyed partner Croce Centofanti wounded as hundreds of shots were fired. Patrolman Waller A. O’Rourke and another officer were wounded during the siege that involved more than 50 officers and a mother shielding her newborn twins upstairs. The incident followed a $500 holdup inquiry and echoed a Harlem stand‑off earlier this year.
