Vincenzo Capone ran away from home when he was a teenager to join the circus. He went to war in WWI and was decorated for his sharp shooting skills. Afterward, he settled in the small town of Homer, Nebraska, where he worked as a Prohibition officer. He wore a cowboy outfit, rode a horse, and carried two six-shooters at his side, thus gaining him the nickanme "Two Gun". He had changed his name to avoid racism against Italian-Americans, but soon had another reason to remain hidden. His younger brother became the most infamous criminal in the world, Al Capone.
