"i just shot john lennon" -mark david chapman

at the dakota where john lennon was shot by mark david chapman on dec 8, 1980.


it happened right outside of these gates where i am standing.
after mark chapman shot him, he sat back down on the ground with his copy of 'catcher in the rye' and when asked what he had just done, he calmly said-
"i just shot john lennon"
and waited for the cops to arrive.
the ironic thing about all of this-
lennon was once asked how he thought he would die,
his response:
"i'll probably be popped off by some loony"
