for Linda McCartney in American Crime Story: The Assassination of John Lennon
Suggested by drpepper
A season of the FX anthology series. On the evening of 8 December 1980, English musician John Lennon, formerly of the Beatles, was shot and fatally wounded in the archway of The Dakota, his residence in New York City. His killer was Mark David Chapman, an American Beatles fan from Hawaii. Chapman said he was angered by Lennon's lifestyle and public statements, especially his much-publicized remark about the Beatles being "more popular than Jesus" and the lyrics of his later songs "God" and "Imagine". Chapman also said he was inspired by the fictional character Holden Caulfield from J. D. Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye. Chapman planned the killing over several months and waited for Lennon at The Dakota on the morning of 8 December. During the evening he met Lennon, who signed Chapman's copy of the album Double Fantasy and subsequently left for a recording session at the Record Plant. Later that night, Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono returned to The Dakota. As they approached the entrance of the building, Chapman fired five hollow-point bullets from a .38 special revolver, four of which hit Lennon in the back. Chapman remained at the scene reading The Catcher in the Rye until he was arrested. Lennon was rushed to Roosevelt Hospital in a police car where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
