| Just
hours after being caught on photograph getting Lennon's autograph, Mark Chapman had
murdered his so-called idol. 
John Lennon had spent the evening at the recording studio, and returned to the Dakota
apartments around 11.00 p.m. As he and Yoko stepped from the cab and made their way to the
Dakota's entrance, Mark Chapman stepped out of the shadows."Mr. Lennon" he said
quietly, and Lennon turned.
At that instant, there was a burst of sound as Chapman fired five bullets into the rock
star.
He then calmly put the gun down and took a book out of his coat pocket, sat cross-legged
on the sidewalk, and started to read.
What possessed Mark Chapman to kill John Lennon?
Why did he feel he
was on a special mission to kill him?
What had drawn him to
Lennon?
