During the chasing down and shooting of Pretty Boy Floyd, near the film's beginning, the actions depicted in the movie mirror the FBI's account of the incident - that he was shot at long distance by a rifleman and eventually died there in the grove. Much controversy surrounds the shooting however, with majority of the accounts backing up the testimony of the local police force on hand (though the FBI claims the only local was the retired police officer, and former WWI sharpshooter who was enlisted specifically for this assignment.) In their accounting, Floyd was felled by the sharpshooter, but upon approaching the still alive gunman, Purvis shot him several times, point blank, with his pistol. Further, John Dillinger was long-dead before Floyd was killed.
