The Union Station Massacre was a 1933 gunfight at Kansas City’s Union Station. In the available material, it appears as an indexed historical event rather than as a narrated episode, so its circumstances and outcome are not established here.

Identification

The book’s index lists the Union Station Massacre among its topics. The name identifies it as a Kansas City gunfight in 1933, but the available passages do not say who took part or what led to the violence.

Place in the Book

A separate index entry associates the massacre with Harry S. Truman’s first presidential visit to Union Station. The excerpts do not explain the visit or its connection to the event, and provide no account of the massacre’s immediate aftermath.
