Chapman smiles as the limo pulls up to the curb. He had just finished a long conversation with the security guard. His name was Jose Perdomo. He now stood at an angle between the building and the street. He grips the 38 Charter Arms.

Yoko steps out of the limo.

In the shadows, Chapman nods at Yoko. She does not nod back. 

As Yoko walks past Chapman, John steps out of the limo. When John sees Chapman in the shadows, he gives him a cold hard stare. John quickly walks by Chapman toward the entrance to the Dakota.

Chapman takes five steps toward the street. He stops. He turns. He pulls out the 38 Charter Arms revolver. He gets into a combat stance.

As John reaches the doorman's guardhouse, Chapman begins shooting. He strikes John several times in the back and shoulder with the hollow point bullets. John collapses.

" Help him". Yoko begins screaming. " Somebody come quickly".

Perdomo runs up to Chapman. " Do you know what you've just done".

Chapman grinned. " I've just shot John Lennon". He took his copy of the ' Catcher In The Rye' out of his back pocket.

Mark David Chapman heard the sirens approaching.

He smiled. " Now I am famous".
