　　He has just got out of a car, and was walking to the entrance when a voice called “Mr.Lennon”. Lennon turned, and was shot five times. The killer threw his gun down, and stood there smiling. “Do you know what you just did?” shouted the doorman. “I just shot John Lennon,” the killer replied. Lennon was rushed to a nearby hospital in a police patrol car, but it was too late.

　　The killer was 25-year-old Mark Chapman from Hawaii. Earlier the same evening he had asked Lennon for his autograph.

It is said that he even believed that he was John Lennon.
