Al Capone, the notorious American gangster of the 1920s and 1930s, was the target of several assassination attempts during his career due to his involvement in organized crime. Some of the reasons why Capone was shot at include:
Rival gangsters: Capone was involved in a violent rivalry with other gangsters, such as Bugs Moran and the North Side Gang. They may have attempted to kill Capone in order to eliminate him as a competitor.
Disgruntled associates: Capone had a reputation for being ruthless and violent towards his own associates. Some of his former allies or employees may have sought revenge by attempting to kill him.
Law enforcement: Capone was the subject of intense law enforcement scrutiny, and he had many enemies among the police and federal agents who were trying to bring him to justice. Some law enforcement officials may have attempted to assassinate him in order to take him out of the criminal underworld.
It is worth noting that while Capone survived several assassination attempts, he eventually died of natural causes in 1947
