John Lennon was killed by a
deranged fan on Dec. 8, 1980, as he returned to his New York apartment from a recording session.

At 22:49 the Lennon's limousine pulles up outside the Dakota and Jose Perdomo the doorman leaves his post to open the car doors for them. Yoko gets out first. She is followed closely by her husband, who is carrying a tape recorder and some cassettes. As Yoko passes him the killer says "Hello". Lennon gives the guy a long, hard look. As John passes him, the man steps back and pulles a snubnosed .38 revolver from his pocket. He drops into combat stance, with knees flexed, arms outstreched and one arm supporting the other at the wrist and says:

Mr. Lennon?

As John turnes, the guy fires two shots into him. They catch him in the back, spinning him round. Blood already starts spurting from Lennon's wounds as the assassin takes aim again. He fires three more shots. Two bullet smashes into John's shoulder, the other goes astray. There's a crash of shattering glass as the slugs, that had passed through John's body smash into the Dakota's glass frontage. Mortally wounded John staggers up the steps into the Dakota's front lobby, his face horribly conturted.

I'm shot, I'm shot

he moans as he fells to the floor. John's been shot! screams Yoko, who follows her husband into the hotel.Jay Hastings the security man reaches under his desk and presses the alarm button, which summones the police from the nearby 20th Precinct Station. After this, he rushes to John's side and removes his shattered glasses. Then he takes off his uniform to cover the victim.He wants to use his tie as a tourniquet, but can not decide where to apply it. John is dying, blood pours from his chest and mouth, his eyes are open but unfocused, he is gurgling and vomiting blood.

*** ALERT *** SHOTS FIRED *** 1 WEST 72nd STREET ***

is the terse dispatch that summones New York Police Officer Tony Palma and his partner Herb Frauenberger to the scene of the crime.From the sidewalk Palma sees Hastings and shouts up anxiously: "Is someone shot in there?" He runs up the steps with Frauenberger. In Hasting's office they find a man lying face down with a small woman standing over him crying. Palma turns the body over.He sees that the victim is badly injured and tells his partner: "Grab his legs and let's get him out of here!" As they lift him, Hastings hears as John's bones crack.Bythe time they lay him in the back of a squad car, John loses all control over his limbs. As the car takes off, the driver Officer James Moran yells at John:"Do you know who you are?". Lennon is unable to speak, but nods.The car jumps the red lights on Colombus Avenue.It speeds down Ninth Avenue into 58th Street and swings into the entrance of Roosevelt Hospital. The hospital's major trauma team is already alerted.The rapidly fading John is carried to the emergency room. He has virtually no pulse.The two bullets which had hit him on the back had both pierced a lung and passed through his chest. A third bullet had shattered his left shoulder bone, and a fourth had hit the same shoulder and ricocheted inside his chest, where it severed his aorta and windpipe.After an unsuccessful attempt at cardiac massage, a medical team of seven people laboures to save John using every device and technique available. Nothing works. The official cause of death is shock produced by massive haemorrhaging ... he lost 80% of his blood.

John Lennon byl zavrazden psychicky narusenym fanouskem 8. prosince 1980, kdyz se vracel do sveho newyorskeho bytu z nahravaciho studia.

Ve 22:49 Lennonova limuzina prijela pred Dakotu a vratny Jose Perdomo jim prisel otevrit dvere auta. Yoko vysla z auta prvni, tesne nasledovana Johnem, ktery nesl magnetofon a kazety. Kdyz prosla kolem vraha Yoko, tak ji vrah pozdravil, zatimco John se na vraha dlouze podival, kdyz ho mijel. Kdyz John kolem nej prosel, tak se tento muz postavil za nej a vytahl z kapsy revolver 38 mm s kratkou hlavni. Zaujmul bojovy postoj s pokrcenymi koleny a v obou rukach pred sebou pevne sviral zbran a pak rekl smerem k Johnovi:

Pan Lennon?

Kdyz se John k nemu otacel, tak na nej vrah dvakrat vystrelil. Zasahlo ho to do zad a jeho telo se zapotacelo. Krev uz zacala vytekat z ran, ale vrah zamiril znova a vypalil dalsi tri rany. Dve kulky ho zasahly do ramene, treti jen proletla mimo. Byl slyset zvuk tristiciho se skla, kdyz kulky, ktere proletly Johnovym telem, zasahly proskleny vstup do Dakoty. Smrtelne raneny John se dobelhal do vstupniho prostoru Dakoty a vyraz jeho tvare byl pri tom desivy.

Jsem zasazen, jsem zasazen.

vykrikl, kdyz se skacel na zem. "John byl strelen!"kricela Yoko, ktera ho doprovazela. Jay Hastings, pracovnik ostrahy budovy, hned sahnul pod pult a a stiskl tlacitko alarmu, ktery upozornil policii z nedaleke sluzebny dvacateho okrsku. Potom hned bezel k Johnovi a sundaval mu jeho rozbite bryle. Pak si svlekl uniformu a ji pak prikryl Johna. Chtel pouzit svou kravatu jako skrtidlo, ale nemohl se rozhodnout kde ji pouzit. John mezitim umiral, krev tekla z jeho hrudi i ust, jeho oci byly otevrene, ale bez vyrazu, stenal a dale ztracel krev.

***POPLACH***STRELBA NA 1WEST 72nd STREET***

bylo hlaseni, ktere privolalo dustojnika New Yorske policie Tonyho Palmu a jeho kolegu Herba Frauenberga na misto zlocinu. Z chodniku vidi Palma vratneho Hastingse a krici na nej uzkostne: "Je tam nekdo zranen?" S Frauenbergem vybehnou po schodech do Dakoty. V Hastingsove kancelari najdou muze leziciho oblicejem k zemi a malou zenu, ktera nad nim stoji a place. Palma otocil telo a vidi ze John je tezce zranen a rekl svemu kolegovi: "Popadni ho za nohy a dostanme ho pryc odsud." Kdyz ho zvedali, slyseli jak se v Johnovi lamou kosti. Mezitim ho ulozili na zadni sedadlo hlidkoveho vozu, a John ztracel vedomi. Kdyz se auto rozjizdelo, tak ridic James Moran zarval na Johna: "Kdo jsi???". Lennon uz neschopny mluvit jen zakyval. Auto projelo na cervenou z Columbus Avenue a uhanelo to Devatou Avenue do 58th Street a vjelo do Rooseveltovy nemocnice. Resuscitacni tym uz byl predem upozornen. Umirajici John byl odvezen na sal. Nemel uz tep. Dve kulky, ktere ho zasahly do zad, zasahly jeho plice a vyletly skrz hrud ven. Treti kulka roztristila jeho levou lopatku a pata zasahla stejne rameno a pronikla do hrudniku, kde zasahla srdce a plice. I po neuspesnem pokusu o ozivovaci masaz srdce, se snazil sedmicleny lekarsky tym dal Johna ozivovat, byly pouzity vsechny dostupne pristroje a metody - nic nezabralo. Oficialni procinou smrti byl sok zpusobeny obrovskym krvacenim, kdy pacient ztratil 80% krve.
