On Dec. 8, 1980 Mark David Chapman, a crazed fan, ended the life of one of the World's great musician / songwriters John 'Ono' Lennon. As John and Yoko returned home, the gunman approached them and shot Lennon to death. Then he casually laid down his gun, sat on the step and read a book.

Lennon died right here on the sidewalk in front of his New York home as Yoko watched in horror. Ironically, John had just autographed his record 'Double Fantasy' for Chapman just hours before the assassin returned to kill him.
