On December 8, 1980, Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon, the Beatles singer/songwriter/drummer with a .38-caliber handgun. He shot five times but only hit Lennon in the back four times. Hours earlier, he had met Lennon and asked him to autograph a copy of the album “Double Fantasy,” which he recorded with his wife Yoko Ono. Later that day, Lennon was returning home from his final recording session when he was fatally shot.  Why would someone shoot one of the kindest, most peaceful human beings the music world had ever known? Find out with us on GOD MADE ME DO IT!
